How to Save Read Only Files, Questions on Location

[lovepine88]

I am trying to edit the geoclue.conf file, but it says it's read only. I don't know how to change that.    I am using Thunar. I got into su mode in king's cross, but not sure that helped.

Also, I have the modem disabled. Will pinephone still be able to know my location via gsm chips built into the hardware even if I edit geoclue?

In other words, if the modem is off and there's no SIM chip, am I still connected to a satalite anyway?

Use sudo before the app name, this will give you root level access.

Hello EvilBunny. In King's Cross, I typed sudo thunar, then it asks for my password and I put that in, then hit enter.

It says: "thunar: Failed to initialize Xfconf: Error spawning command line ?dbus-launch -autolaunch=(lots of #s) --binary-syntax --close-stderr?: Child process exited with code 1

No protocol specifiedUnable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused

(thunar:1234*) Gtk-WARNING **: 123:12:12:123: cannot open display: :0"

I didn't include the actual numbers for security reasons.

Did I do something wrong? Did I mispel sudo?

You are best off using command line programs, when it comes to graphical ones it's a bit hit and miss as you found out.

Huh?

So I want to modify the geoclue.info file and I need to do this with a command line in order to overwrite it? I've tried with Thunar and gpedit and I'm getting nowhee.

I can't modify my own device properties? The OS will deny permission and I can't chage it?
