    Question How to save an edit in Konsole?

    Hello!

    I've just done a sudo edit of menu.lst (Grub) on my OpenSUSE 11.0 KDE 4.0.

    I'm very new to linux, and I'm unsure on how to save the edit... I tried closing Konsole, then reopening Konsole and navigating to menu.lst (sudo) again. I then was given an option to Recover it, which I did.

    So what I want to know, is: How do I save an edit, in Konsole?

    Please reply!

    Thanks in advance,

    Panarchy

    This is what I typed in once I had navigated to the grub folder.

    sudo edit menu.lst

    I can't see the name of the editor anywhere on screen. Ah... I'm using Konsole... if that's any help.

    Please tell me what to do next!

    Thanks in advance,

    Hmmm, I don't seem to have that command installed, nor have I ever heard of it. I guess you'll have to wait for someone else to help you or you could try a different command to achieve the same results.

    try using this command
    sudo nano menu.lst
    Make the desired changes and press Ctrl X to exit, Y to save and press enter.
