How to edit a readonly file 41

I am referring to what the error message asks you to do. Please do it and tell us the result. Give us your data.

Well?

(why is length of time you are using the o-s a factor in difficulty of giving us the data?)

Just a shell, please.

Well, change that.

ne doesn't "learn" console! No more than one learns to use a mouse! One just uses it.

Eh? There is no edlin. If yu are using "ed", don't! You want vim. Or emacs. Or joe. Or maybe pico. Or the builtin editor in mc.

??? I have n idea what you mean.

You want provide the DATA! Nothing else is germane or helpful.

That means nothing. Why do you confuse the desktop with the parbreastion in question. Please show the DATA that enables you to make such deductions! It is unlikely to be the same parbreastion!

I don't understand what you mean. You are who you want to be. Just type "who am i" to check, and sudo su to whoever you like. You are who you logged in as.

I don't understand what you mean.

Don't speak of such things - that implies you are using a gui (the only thing that will present "properties" and therefore you are not looking at data. You mean "permissions". Use ls -l.

I don't understand what you mean - why shuld you care what the perms are? You MUST be root to change a system file.

Then go and know.

Come back when you do.

You have no proof. Go back and find out.

What do you mean? You do not install on a SINGLE parbreastion!

YOu don't know - you have no prooof of WHAT you wrote n.

Of course you can.

DON'T USE A GUI, fer crissakes.

Stop using a gui. It makes anything you do untrustwrthy. You are taking through cottonwool. We need data, not the impressions of it that you are recounting in storyteller like fashion.

Just show us the results of
