Hello,
I work in the Kumaun Himalayas and have just migrated to Linux. I am
using Ubuntu 8.04 LTS as the operating system.
I must confess, that I am fairly computer illiterate and therefore
despite knowing that there is a lot of information available on the web,
am unable to solve some of my problems. Could you help? Here are my problems
1. I have Clam TK Virus Scanner loaded. To get updates it says that I
have to be "root". How do I solve this?
2. I have a reliance data card - ZTE MC315+ which plugs into the PCMIA
slot. I cannot get it to work on my machine. I managed to load the
software using Wine but when I try and operate the programme the message
reads - "R Connect Card not found please reinsert".
3. If I try to make changes to /etc../wvin.config it does not save it
and says that I am not permitted to do so.
4. I use an old IBM laptop and it does not have a built in wireless
ability. I used a USB wireless device manufactured by Netgear but I
cannot get that to work either.
Could you please help? While I do have some access to a BSNL broadband
connection - it is unreliable and requires me to be connected directly
to the machine. I would be happy to call any of you, if you send me a
number and to follow your advice while I am at the machine.
Thanks
Madhavan
