How can I fix this as I am effectively crippled. I use nano for most work on remote servers, But fro all of the server that have a GUI installed we use (used) kwrite. You could, of course, do what it says to do.... [egreshko@meimei ~]$ sudo kwrite [sudo] password for egreshko: Executing KWrite as root is not possible. To edit files as root use: SUDO_EDITOR=kwrite sudoedit <file> You also have to be in a directory that isn't owned by you to start the process. I guess it is an inconvenience but since I only use vi it doesn't bother me. Since kwrite is a KDE application you may want to ask the folks on the KDE list. -- Fedora Users List - The place to go to speculate endlessly
