View 4 Replies View Relatedi am trying to use CentOS as well. I know many things are same. But i am getting stuck at one place where I am trying to enable support of JFS during installation at the boot option like we can do in FC.But i am unable to edit boot option.

given same in kernel parameter by pressing f4 but jfs does not appear in the drop down menu during partitioning of disk.
I need to edit my xorg.conf file. I can navigate to it in Terminal but do not know how to open it. If I navigate to it outside of terminal I can change it but cannot save the changes (not allowed) I can't seem to find a "how to" for this. (Debian 504 on a Toshiba laptop)
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to edit a C++ source file, but gedit wont allow me to save changes to it. Gedit says:
Code:
A file with the same name already exists. Please use a different name.
Right. Of course the file exists, I am trying to edit an existing file.
About the same happens with kate... Kate opens the file in read-only mode.
However, if I edit the same file with nano, editing and saving works. So the problem shouldn't be with access rights. Also "ls" shows rw rights to the file.
What could be the problem? I can use nano, but I would need the syntax highlightind, and other features of a better editor.
And whether I use sudo or not has no effect. The same happens with or without sudo, and I am the owner of the file.
PS. luckily I am still dual booting with Hardy. I can always go back.
Oh and this is a new installation of ubuntu 10.04
What linux software is available that allows you to edit a PDF file?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI need to change one word in over a thousand pages of HTML. I think sed is the only way to do this, but I've never used sed before.
After reading the documentation, I see that it is pretty easy to alter files to standard output, in other words, the screen.
But I don't want to do just alter text to the screen, I want to alter the original file, else I am not doing any Stream EDiting as near as I can tell.
None of the documentation explains how to take a file, apply sed to alter that file. How do you do this?
Code:
[myuser@myhost dir]#sed s/changethis/tothis/ /mydir/myfile
How do I apply sed to actually make the changes to myfile?
I'd like to use NetworkManager on a freshly installed CenntOS 5 on laptop Lenovo ThinkPad T61p. I followed: [URL] Everything went OK, until I selected my active LAN connection in "Edit Connections". After clicking on "Edit", it's not possible to change anything - all is grayed-out. I'm guessing it's a permission problem. But I don't know the internal structure of NetworkManager and what files to look at. I was also expecting that after stopping the network service "Syetem->Admin->Network" would be inactive, but it isn't. Shouldn't the old network manager be uninstalled as well?
