Just change your command line a bit.
sudo gedit file.name
You are dealing with permissions to open windows on your X windows
display. The root account does not, and should not, have permissions to
open a window on your display.
sudo is your friend. Logs of super user activity can be priceless. :)
Worked like a charm. Could you tell me if I should set my SELinux Security Level at Permissive,Enforcing or Disabled?
This is just a toy home box on which I play, break fix and hopefully learn,. I run my own iptables, but never got to know much about internal security. I figured that if my iptables are in good order, I should not need much for internal security. At worst, I have to re-install.
Many Thanks,
