Check out any of the zillion references out there. One good class is https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-linux-linuxfoundationx-lfs101x-1 which is free to take and self-paced. There are many many others. Definitely get yourself some training before you drive yourself nutso struggling with things that are really baseline skills you need to run a Linux system. But to answer, you are likely once again trying to edit a root-owned file as a non-privileged user. You can change the permission to let you edit it, or alternately (preferably) use sudo when you try to do privileged things occasionally. Again, get yourself some training. It'll help. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
