I installed using WUBI and it was successful. I still do not know why
Ubiquity does not see it.

I tried 12.10 on my laptop using WUBI. Now the problem continues.

I checked all Fn keys and here are the ones do not work:

Fn+F1: It should show Samsung Configuration Tool, but not important.
It could be without action, but instead, it adds infinite number of ±
char into KRunner continously.

Fn+F2: It should decrease brightness (just blinks the screen)
Fn+F3: It should increase brightness (just blinks the screen)
Fn+F11: It should make the fan silent (aka night mode)


I played a little bit and then found a temporary solution for
brightness. Open power management tool on systray by left-clicking
(not opening its settings. it does not work as well), change the
slider. If you leave computer alone for 5 mins. the slider goes to the
highest position again.
