Can we, please, close this thread for good? It sound like the OP has no idea what he is talking about. Being able to observe things and report them to the community is definitely not sufficient to make community do system administration of your machine for you. It usually is assumed that the one asking for help is capable to do what he is trying to do and has exhausted all resources in serious attempts to solve the problem he hit himself before asking others for help. No offense intended, all I stated above is just my observation (and as every human I am prone to making mistakes).
