wow!

thank you very very much! that is very very helpful. even if it won't 
succeed, but it helps me understand the code I am writing better. I will 
give it a try, and if it succeeds, I will put this somewhere in the wiki.

Greetings Mohammed,

I believe the following is what you are looking for.  If I am mistaken, 
please let me know.

setting up system administration in ubuntu:

1) open upt the terminal.

a: press ALT+F2 to launch the run dialog and type "gnome-terminal" (without 
the quotations).
b: using the topbar menus press F1 and navigate to accessories -> terminal

2: type "sudo su - root" (without the quotations).  By default you should be 
located in /root; if you're not sure type "PWD" and if it says anything 
other than "/root" type 'cd /root"

3: Type the following four (4) lines exactly.

cat> ~/.orbitrc << EOF
ORBIIOPIPv4=1
ORBIIOPUNIX=0
EOF

explination: "cat> ~/.orbitrc" sends the next two lines to /root/orbitrc (as 
long as you are logged in as root which we did in the sudo su - root step).
">> EOF" sets EOF as a trigger to stop coppying to file.

4: type "visudo"

This is the command to edit/etc/sudoers.  If any mistakes are made, it'll 
notify you when you quit and ask if you want to fix it or quit without 
saving (or save anyway which is not recommended).
On my system, visudo launches /etc/sudoers in nano, but it's possible your 
system will launch in vi.

in nano you can use the arrow keys to find the line in the text with 
"env_reset," go to the end of the line and press return then type:
Defaults env_keep+="GTK_MODULES"

in vi/vim:
find the line with "env_reset"
press "i" to enter incert mode.
type:
Defaults env_keep+="GTK_MODULES"
now press the  key to return to command mode.
press the two (2) characters ":W" to write changes to disk.
type ":Q" to quit.

5: type "exit" to get out of super user mode.

You might need to quit orca and restart to get full system admin capability.

I hope this helps:-)
