In the terminal?

So to catch up.

You have pasted the supplied code in to a file called grub using Kate.
That file is in your home directory.

If so then you can simply copy the file to the /etc/default directory using Dolphin but as root.

No I posted about Kate which is irrelevant if using nano

Crap, I don't know nano; maybe i need to go there. How? I like the one where I copy the raw text (code?), go to grub in konsole and march on. Is that doable? Now remember I'm simply copying the code from this thread.

[logan01]

Lost. Do I paste the new file "grub" to default or do I go in grub and paste the copied text? If I paste the file to default, the only way I know how copy it is outside of the terminal. I just open dolphin, go to documents and the file is sitting in there.

[elijathegold]

Don't do what you just said?

Make sure you are in /etc/default cd /etc/default

[elijathegold]

Irrelevant now

OK, this is not as scary as it looks.

sudo nano grub
<enter your user password>
Press Shift + Insert to paste the code
Press Ctrl +O to save
Press Ctrl + X to exit

When you enter your password, it will look like nothing is happening.

Ok. Let me get out of all that other stuff, recopy just that bunch of txt, not the file I create, and follow your instructions.

[elijathegold]

Dammit you gotta be quick around here

Ok. Went to kate. A new window launched and I pasted all the text and save in Kate. I had to give it a file name to to save. Named it grub. Now go back in the terminal and ...?

[Snowhog]

There is an easier way. Exit the konsole (type exit and press enter). Then just start typing kdesudo kate and press enter. You will be asked for your password. Type it in and press enter. Kate will launch "as root". Create what you want and click on Save and navigate to /etc/default and name the file.

[logan01]

I'm lost. I'm in terminal. I'm at /default and hit return. I right click. Several items but noting to create a new file. There is paste but I don't think you want me to paste all that stuff I just copied.

[logan01]

oh,you are.
