largegroh Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 (edited) it is asking me if I have write access (I can get to root in console and with su and PW) or enough space.. has lots of space. I am not sure what what to type or where to go to make sure I am at root. in console i can get there with su but don't know how to get to the file. in the file i can make changes but don't seem to have access since there is much room. help, please.

daniewicz Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 Open a console and use su to log in as root. Type "konqueror" to open a GUI and open the file from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solarian Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 Or if you can't get a graphical screen for one reason or another, you can type as root 'emacs /path/to/filename', then it will open it as from root. This is for emergencies when you have no X , but need to edit a file. Emacs is a horrible program, from the perspective of user interface! Anyways in it you can access options such as save or exit with F10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
