[SOLVED] Emacs write privilege

Rinkon · 07-06-2018, 04:11 PM

How do I get "Write" privilege to modify xor.conf in Emacs using root terminal in Ubuntu rescue mode?

I'm not able to modify the archive. I'm only getting "read-only-mode"

Code:

 chmod +w xor.conf

?

root:~#chmod +w /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
"chmod:altering permission of '/etc/X11/xorg.conf': Archive sistem only for read"( my translation of the error message)

If you are in rescue mode, the filesystem is usually mounted read-only. You need to run

Code:

mount -o remount,rw /
