please help me for this problem thank you for your help |
Either run it as root, or use the full path (which is usually /sbin/ifconfig).

THANKS ,and how can i log in with ROOT user? (in the graphical mode)
and how can i switch to the text mode (without going to graphical mode) |
You just need to "become" root in a terminal, which is done by using the command "su" and entering your root password when prompted. If you want a terminal "outside" of the GUI, then you should be able to use Ctrl+Alt+F[1-6] (my notation "F[1-6]" means F1, F2, ..., F6). Does that answer your question?

Basically to understand why you get this message, /sbin/ifconfig is not in your users environment path. You can add it however I simply just run the entire path of the command since that is what I am use to:
Code:
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 |
