Google your problem first. Check the Wiki. Read the existing threads. It's okay to "hijack" an existing thread, yes! If your problem is not yet covered, open a new thread. To get the quickest possible help, mention the exact release codename in your post (uname -a is a good idea, too). Due to the lack of crystal balls, attach the output of lspci -nnk if you encounter hardware problems.

Nothing to worry about, vic. You can do this: sudo chmod 775 /usr/local/sbin
Usually /usr/local/... are the stuff that you manually install -- for example you compile something and you don't want it to be installed in /usr/bin, so it goes to /usr/local/bin. The /usr/local/sbin is usually only for root, and changing it to 755 makes it writable for root only, again. :)
