Alangi:
You have to learn how to ask a good question ...
Read this which is one of the best guide on asking questions:
http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
If you do not include the warning messages you have, as well as some
details on the Linux distro version you run, and the commands you
issued, none can provide any help or answer.

Practically, look at the message you sent above, and imagine for a sec
that you received this email as opposed to sending it.
Would you be able to provide any help in reply?
I cannot.

Now I am still taking the time this one time to reply to ask you to
ask a good question, but I should not have to do so, this is
eventually a waste of my time and your time.
You should have instead provided enough elements in your email post
such that I could reply to your question for real, rather than
replying about your question.

And on a side note, do not ask to ask ... just ask.
Remember also to not top-post when replying.
Top posting will be considered as bad form or very annoying or plain
rude and impolite by most participants of this list.

So please help us help you by asking complete and comprehensive
questions. This is an essential skill to develop!
