Or just copy-paste the whole thing. But I was wondering if there was a "geeky" way of doing it. –theTuxRacer Nov 30 '10 at 5:19 add a comment| 3 Answers 3 active oldest votes up vote 12 down vote accepted Yes you could save it temporarily to your home directory.Press Ctrl+O to change the path to your home directory or in /tmp and then press Enter to save it.Then you can sudo mv it. Press CTRL+O will show you the path.Change that to your home directory or /tmp.For example File Name to Write: /tmp/filename and press enter. share|improve this answer edited Nov 30 '10 at 5:42 Marco Ceppi♦ 31k20132180 answered Nov 30 '10 at 5:23 karthick87 28.2k40139203 1 You need to sudo cp </full/temp/name> </full/original/name> and rm </full/temp/name> to maintain permissions on the original file. sudo mv will destroy them, which is not what you want, especially if it had executable permissions. –Martin Thornton Jul 11 '15 at 14:34 add a comment| up vote 1 down vote Try ctrl+o and choo

Now I get an ERROR: Signature extraction failed. Where it encourages me to update youtube-dl. So I type youtube-dl -U and I get this: ERROR: no write permissions on /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl youtube-dl share|improve this question edited Jun 6 '15 at 22:11 Braiam 39k1693154 asked Jun 6 '15 at 20:32 Rin007 3811 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 4 down vote http://askubuntu.com/questions/633139/updating-youtube-dl-gives-me-error-no-write-permission accepted The -U flag updates youtube-dl. To do this, you need root permissions to write in /usr/local/bin/. Try running it again with sudo. sudo youtube-dl -U share|improve this answer answered Jun 6 '15 at 20:39 camconn 1,284416 Thanks, it works. I'm still somewhat new to this. It tells me to restart youtube-dl. Is there a command I can type that does this? –Rin007 Jun 6 '15 at 20:41 1 @Rin007 Normally youtube-dl will close itself automatically. If it doesn't close itself, manually stop it with Ctrl+C on the command line... And remember to mark as solved if this helped out. –camconn Jun 6 '15 at 20:43 +1 well that was easy :) –Wilf Jun 6 '15 at 22:17 add a comment| up vote 0 down vote Those commands should update the script (as well as install it), so you don't need to run youtube-dl -U, you can run them again to update it to the latest version. However, if you want to run youtube-dl -U, you can use: sudo chown $USER:$USER /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl to make your user the owner of the file, and then you should have write access. share|improve this answer answered Jun 6 '15 at 20:40 Wilf 15.5k44276 add a comment| Your Answer draft saved draft discarded Sign up or log in Sign up using Google Sign up using Facebook Sign up using Email and Password Post as a guest Name Em

A user would therefore need root privileges to access those files. Since you're trying to write to /etc/network/interfaces file, you do need to be root or have root privileges. To do so, use the sudo command which is used to perform file operations on files that the Root User would only be allowed to change. Open a terminal with Ctrl+Alt+T and run: sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces This will open Gedit, you can then make the necessary changes to the fil
