I am having problem editing a file inside the system directory.

I have been having auto boot check up issues and i just want to remove it , so according to a little research i have to do some file edits like should add

fsck.mode=skip

into the grub.

But i am not able to edit the file because it says i don't have perimission to edit the files.

  • You use sudo to elevate privileges. Be aware that the grub.cfg file gets re-generated, so changes there tend not to stick (survive) long, so being specific as to OS/release & file you're editing may help you achieve what you actually want to accomplish. – guiverc Jun 26 '22 at 01:04
  • Set your EDITOR and VISUAL environment variables to your chosen editor (I use emacsclient, but you can pick any editor you want to use) and use the sudoedit command. Read man sudoedit. Also, keep a copy of the unedited, original file. – waltinator Jun 26 '22 at 02:10

How to edit files?

To get permission to edit files you need a sudo privilege

i.e. sudo nano grub.conf you'll get satisfied.

If you're still not happy with this you could change the permissions using chmod stands for change mode of permissions.

Paste this link in terminal

sudo chmod u+rw grub.conf

here u is for user + indicates the accessible permission of rw reading and writing.

Caution/ Warnings :--

Without knowing anything don't edit root files because if you do so your pc will get damage and you don't have another choice to get access of your data.

Thanks For Asking :)
