cc.config.xml locked

Hi all.

I am trying to edit my cc_config.xml file in Ubuntu latest version, BOINC 6.10.17 but it seems to be locked.I cant change it, nor move it nor delete it.

What do I do??

Yes, hit properties to find the true location, navigate there in a terminal window, then sudo gedit cc_config.xml. Before that you probably have to chown the file. Do chown it back afterwards!

Re: cc.config.xml locked

It says permission denied in the terminal.

Then I wrote sudo gedit cc_config.xml and it asked password for the user account.When typing the password it doesn't apear in the terminal
