The idea is for you to learn how to solve problems yourself.
As you will never be able to acquire all the knowledge to fix every problem, you need to develop the skills to research, read, including reading software manuals (most programs have a manual, which you can access typing: man , where is the name of the program. The man command also has a manual, which you can access typing: man man.
You have curiosity and a desire to learn. Now you just have to learn how to channel it productively. The manual I suggested last time is here: http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html. As I mentioned before, don't be offended by the title, it is useful.
