Ubuntu Newbie here!
I am currently trying to install OpenFoam 10 in my machine, and need to edit the bashrc file located in Ubuntu/opt/openfoam/etc. Anytime I try to manually open the file and edit it I get this error:
Failed to save document#
Error opening file "opt.openfoam10/etc/bashrc": permission denied
I also tried to use the sudo gedit command to access the file and get this other error from the terminal:
sudo gedit ~./bashrc mkdir: cannot create directory '/run/user/0': Permission denied Authorization required, but no authorization protocol specified
However, when I look at the permission in the folder, /opt directory has drwxr-wr-x, so it seems like my user does not have 'root' permissions? I feel I might be missing some simple setting but can't seem to find what it is.
Any help is much appreciated.
sudoedit /opt/openfoam/etc/bashrcor specify a particular editor likesudo nano /opt/openfoam/etc/bashrc– steeldriver Apr 01 '23 at 17:42
