I'm working on figuring out a host of problems with my computer, and have hit a lot of brick walls. So, here's a couple of the ones i just can't figure out, along with any information that might help.. Thank you so much for all of your help both with this problem and all the other problems I've had!
1) When I plug into the internet, I have to restart to get it to work, then, if I unplug without rebooting, my computer goes into a hang. I heard once that ifconfig up and ifconfig down are the ways to prevent this problem, but when I use that, I just get the following: $ ifconfig up bash: ifconfig: command not found Here's my path, in case that might be the problem: $ echo $PATH /usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin: /tmp/mysqlcc-0.8.10-linux-glibc23/:/tmp/todo-manager-0.70.2: /home/ErinS/bin:/usr/java/j2re1.4.1_01/bin/: /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_01/bin/:/usr/games/:/usr/bin:.:/home/ErinS/bin:. :/tmp/mysqlcc-0.8.10-linux-glibc23/:/tmp/todo-manager-0.70.2: /home/ErinS/bin:/usr/java/j2re1.4.1_01/bin/: /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_01/bin/:/usr/games/:/usr/bin:. I'm really puzzled, and rather annoyed by this problem, so I'd greatly appreciate a resolution! 2) This one's rather similar to 1. If I want to use my printer, I have to have it plugged into the computer and turned on when I boot the computer, or it doesn't recognize it as existing. Is there any way to make the driver start up whether or not the printer is attached? I also have the problem that when I turn on the computer after detaching the printer, it asks me during startup whether it should delete the printer configuration. The printer is an Epson Stylus C40-UX. 3) I have a USB MP3 player and a digital camera that I would like to be able to use in Linux. If I can get these two items working, I will most likely delete my Windows partition... Unfortunately, I can't seem to figure them out. The MP3 player is an Archos Jukebox Studio MP3/external hard drive. For the digital camera, the driver for Windows doesn't even work, but I have a MMC-SD slot in the side of my computer that I use to transfer pictures to my computer with. It's a Toshiba Satellite computer... Oh, also (last thing), I have been curious as to how one goes about creating an ISO disk. Last year, I tried to make a boot disk for a friend, but when I tried to burn it, it didn't work, making a waste of a lot of downloading time. Perhaps somebody could write a tutorial for the website on this or something, because I know that other newbies have had similar problems. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'm sorry this was so long! ~Erin Sharmahd (a true newbie who wants to learn more) ===== �The pledge of allegiance to the flag is a pledge to the ideals of our forefathers, the men who fought and died in the building of this great nation.
