Arrrrggghh! Th5s is what i got:

aruba:~/sharp$ apt-get remove numlockx
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the list directory

what does th5s mean+?

:D never mind...
I just ran Synaptic Pkg Mgr and it uninstalled it. I restarted Gnome and now i'm able to type w/o using the FN key. :D

thanks for the help!

No worries. I should have caught that myself. anyway things are fine now. i just installed EU on another laptop and this time i noticed the option for numlock at the beginning and unchecked it. thanks for a great program!:D
