I need to change a game's screen resolution in a couple of .con files, but when I double click on them all I get is success in a little pop up window. Can I move them to my computer, edit them with a text editor, and reinsert them with read only privileges?
I have rented a remote dedicated fedora 7 system. The service provider provisioned the system and does not allow direct "root" access to the system.
I currently use putty to login into "user1", switch to "root" using su -, and then edit the file.
I would like to edit the "root" file directly from my home XP system which has a SFTP connection to the remote fedora 7 system (using Aptana RadRails).
I am not sure how to do that. I had 2 ideas but I am just guessing and afraid to proceed with so little knowledge.
I considered editing /etc/group and changing the line from root:x:0:root to

I am trying to install Fedora 10 on an old P3 Inspiron 5000. When I boot from the Live cd the screen is split into three sections and is hard to navigate. I am able to edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and log out and log back in to proceed with the installation. The problem is when I finish the installation and reboot to the new OS it boots to the triple section mode again because my xorg.conf is not edited. To do any commands in Fedora I need to get through a brief user setup in which I cannot navigate through until I can see the screen better. Is there a way to boot to a graphical type safe mode so I can see the whole screen to finish the installation? How can I access folders from the live cd to edit the installed files? This way I can edit the xorg.conf file before booting and all would be legible.
I have installed Fedora 12 x86_64 and vsftpd. I would like to set up an user for FTP so that he/she could only view/edit files in one certain folder (the one that I set up). How would I go about doing that?
I'm trying to set up some shares on this pc and every time I try to edit the /etc/exports file I get this error. I get the same error when I try to edit /boot/grub.conf file or any other files. Does not matter what editor I use. I'm running f14.
Has any one got this to run on Fedora 14. I have it running just fine on Ubuntu 10.04 but it will not boot up under Fedora. It seems to install just fine.Best program I have found to make or edit epub files. Sigil
First: When I try to edit my brightness it doesn't work at all. I can turn the LED on/off but when I do up down it brings up the status bar and nothing changes. Asus K60IJ T4400 is my laptop.

Installed Ubuntu last night on a friends computer. I never work with pdf.files. Is there anything he can use to edit them on Ubuntu. I had to laugh thou when I returned home from work he was playing with Ubuntu, and downloading .exe files, and was frustrated why they were not installing.
I have lots of files I need to put in my /var/www/ folder (Apache http server). I thought I understood how to edit it:For single files: sudo cp file /var/www/For opening files: sudo gedit /var/www/fileBut I can't use the above for a thousand files, and I really can't afford the learning curve of BASH scripting at this time. So if there a way I can do this the GUI way (drag and drop and all that) without having to add myself in the group permissions for the /var/www/ folder?
Is it possible to view and edit db3 files in linux? OpenOffice does not do it and dbview says it can't read version 83. Just wondering. I am not really firm with databases, but i remember that i did view databases in linux.
I have some pdf files on a usb stick which I want to edit, Evince cannot do this, and if I try to open in Libre there is no option to import pdf there either. Is there an app. or plugin for libre to allow this
I use a linux machine at work and a mac at home. I can ssh from my machine at home to my work machine. But the only editor that I have access to on the command line then is vi, which I don't like.
Is there a way to use gedit on my mac to edit files remotely over an ssh connection?
This page says that it can be done, but I think that it assumes that you are using gedit on ubuntu. On my mac (os 10.5.8) I don't have the "bookmark" option when I click "connect to server".
Got my T2i a few days ago. Shot a bunch of short MOV files. Trying to do simple edits like trimming the beginning and ends. Nothing else.
Cinelerra 4 - no sound Kdenlive - aside from crashing all the time, renders with unacceptable artifacts. Lives - spends a long time making proxies then crashes Avidemux - crashes on save/render Kino - plays back first frame then last frame. Kinda funny but not. Open Movie Editor - Does nothing at all Open Shot - Can't find any libs PiTiVi - Tools? We don't need no stinkin' editing tools.
Will Lunmeria be released before I die? Will Lightworks be released before I die?
Is it time to retrench back into Windows 7 where there are numerous editors that actually work? Sure, costs money but the free stuff just dont work.
BTW, VLC plays the files back beautifully -- no skips, no jerks, sound completely in tact.
I have a directory with hundreds of html files. For all the files I have to: - delete all the row from the beginning of the file to the sentence "<img src="immagini/_navDxBottom.gif" />".
- delete all the rows from the sentence "<br clear="right" />" to the end of the file.

Is there a utility to edit files without X11 fired up?
I'm needing to read the Adam's Assembly Tutorials, that are old EDIT *.txt files, I'm on Linux and I need to read this files.What can I do?Is there any GUI editor that can read the files?There is any way to convert them into another file that is more modern1?
I have a remote server running Ubuntu, but the only computer that I have physical access to runs windows xp. Is there any way to edit the files remotely? Right now, I'm using ssh and then nano to edit the files, but I'd rather use a windows text editor (notepad++). I know I can use pscp to copy files, but every time I make a change to the file, I have to uploaded again to see the results (very tedious).
PS- the win xp computers im using are at my college. You CAN install software on them, but there's a firewall to the outside internet blocking SOME ports... SSH, port 80, port 8080 work fine right now. I can get admin access to the windows computer, and I have root control over the ubuntu one. Also, I can only use whatever computer is open... so I'd prefer to use a program that can be installed on a USB stick.
I haven't put this in the forums for any of the separate programs, because im having the same problem in all of them, im thinking maybe its a problem elsewhere?I recently got a Canon DSLR. It can save in Raw format, I use this function. Canons Raw format is "Whatever.CR2"F spot viewer and all editor programs see then and 'preview' them with no problem. The images appear to have no problem until you load them into GIMP (with UFRAW) UFRAW standalone, RAWStudio etc.
They load, but only as a small vertical rectangle. Often very purple in colour.I thought maybe it was something wrong with just the way it looked, so I just loaded one, went save as (a jpeg) and then loaded it up, it loaded as a small picture of the same purple-haze bar.Have I done something wrong? I googled it, downloaded UFRaw, even Ubuntu studio, same problem before and after studio installation. All these programs claim to read raw images.Just as an example, In RawStudio:I load up the folder of raw images. I can see all the images clearly with no problems in the preview slider up top. I can scroll through them and see them all no problem. When I click on one, it loads in the editing box as some weird bar (always vertical in orientation) often faintly resembling part of the photo but with seriously acid trip colours. Eg massive purple hazes, green everything etc.
sometimes i edit files in a remote server. i normally mount the remote drive via sshfs and edit a configuration file or two and some text files using gedit. after i upgraded to 10.04 i cannot save the files that i edit anymore. i can rename the file. but the weird thing is that i cannot save the file after i edit it. one of the files that i was editing is crontab.
Having just spent many hours going through my entire photo collection tagging, rotating and editing (red eye, cleaning up etc), I am now sat with the window open deciding whether or not it's safe to close it.
I cannot find a save or apply button so I'm not sure if these changes are only made in F-spot itself or if I have to do anything else to make sure it saves to the files.
I DID check the option about storing data in the files where possible but I don't want to just assume it and have to do all this again.
my macbook(2008-2009) isnt booting ubuntu 10.10(on a usb drive) corectly. im just getting a black screen, where i can type in commands. now i found the scripts online, but how can i edit efi files either on mac or windows?
