Edit / Create locked file, lubuntu

Hi folks, after much reading, I am close to giving up on this. I wish to create a blacklist config file to over ride the installed file for my sdr device. The system will not allow me to change anything. I am the owner and sole user on this lunbutu system.
Any help appreciated. Richard

Hi Richard,

Are you logged in as root or using the sudo command?

may be just use : sudo chmod 777 file_name

^ ah, the sledgehammer approach.
i try to avoid it when i can.

we do not know what file or software or device you are talking about, but it's a fair bet it's a permission problem.
