Hello, asifnaz... sorry, but I'm going to lock this because you've asked these questions in other threads already, and it's against the forum rules to post duplicates:

http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/lin...ums-rules.html

Having multiple threads open regarding the same topic becomes too confusing for those that try to help you, and it's always better to keep all discussion regarding any particular topic in one place only to prevent that confusion.

Please feel free to continue any discussion in the threads you already have open, and start new threads for new problems, being sure to start a separate thread for each problem that you encounter.

Thank you.
