Hi.
I've looked around couldn't find an answer, when i try to edit it says i don't have permission.
Anyone know how to get around it, i tried changing permissions no good. Help!
I found this in a project forum, I don't know if any of the below will work, I do not have Linux installed to test for you. Shouldn't hurt to try them though.
sudo chmod a+rw /var/lib/boinc-client
sudo chmod a+rw /var/lib/boinc-client/cc_config.xml
The first command gives everybody permission to read and write the /var/lib/boinc-client directory.
The second command gives everybody permission to read and write /var/lib/boinc-client/cc_config.xml which may not exist if you never had permission to write to /var/lib/boinc-client.
If that doesn't work you could try opening a terminal and typing: gksu gedit /etc/boinc-client/cc_config.xml
If you have already tried these methods and they don't work, I remember once I needed to reinstall BOINC over the top of itself (i.e. same BOINC version) when I had a permission problem with a certain BOINC file in Linux.
Hmm under kubuntu i would
kdesudo kate /etc/boinc-client/cc_config.xml
So i think the gedit solution of kashi's should work under ubuntu.
Hi.
Thanks i got it sorted, it's all good now!
