Ubuntu 18.04

Finally after fighting my ignorance, I finally let Ubuntu run with it and do an install. So all my previous questions about partitioning, etc. were resolved.
However, off and on my keyboard would stop working and the keypad never worked. I found a fix on the Ubuntu forum site, and it took entering the sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-all command in a terminal window using the screen keyboard, and a reboot. That worked for a while, but looking into the keypad fix, I did a Cntl+Alt+F3 to launch a terminal session and entered the same command sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-all plus hoping that it would be more permanent. Well.... it didn't finish and locked up the system. Now the keyboard and keypad are always dead, even when trying an OS reinstall. Can't get past the time zone and user info because the keyboard is dead. Using Win 7 to enter this, and of course I am now hooked on Linux. Anybody have any ideas?
