Yeah, that only works within the terminal, though. Trying to edit a configuration file in a gui editor. I can open the file, paste the lines in it that need to be there (to include some additional apt sources) but it won't let me save it. It would be helpful if it gave me a screen saying that what I am doing requires root priviliges and let me sign in there but it instead says I maybe mispelled something in the file name - but I didn't change the filename so it can't be mispelled. That is so I can find a driver to work with two monitors. > Well, to begin with, there isn't any obvious way to become root.
