I'm not good at the command line (Just past newbie). I try to edit .conf

group to the directories the gnome docs told me to (/run/gdm). I have
added the gdm group to my user group profile. How can I get a GUI text
editor to let me edit .conf files?
you can also use this command:
su -c 'gedit /etc/your_file.conf'
Password:
Give your root password when it asks.

The essential point is that you have to be root to edit filles with onlu

You can also just type
su
And then your root password
After which, you will have complete root access.
