Comment 75 for bug 133118

hey guys,

i'm very new to the linux OS, but joined because i heard Ubuntu was relatively user-friendly. i thought i was adequate with computers until i ran into alot of little snags with ubuntu 7.10 on my dell 700m laptop. i also have the shutdown problem and in my search, found this thread and this great community of helpful people. i apologize ahead of time for the very nubile question, but what do i do with Peter's Patch? what do i do with that text code to install it? again, sorry for my lack of linux know-how, but your help would be much appreciative. thanks ahead of time guys!
