[ubuntu] Fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS and CAPSLOCK doesn't engage

Dear Ubuntu Smart People,

After several years on Mac and Windows and getting fed up with them changing everything around and making my life difficult, I have retued to Ubuntu. All hail the programmers.

Unfortunately, my CAPS doesn't work. When I view the keyboard layout, where the caps should be is "level 3 shift", whatever that means. Pressing caps does absolutely nothing, not even tu on the caps light button on my keyboard. For what it's worth I have a dell keyboard and machine, both purchased in 2013 by my university and I have no idea what their specs are.

I can navigate a terminal, but I don't know how to do things like "verify the settings are installed properly" or even if that's a well defined computer statement. Please write your advice starting with "open the terminal and type [comands]..." Or else "open the System Settings." I'm afraid I won't know what to do if not start from there.

Best

Pink
