    you can install gedit if you want with
    sudo apt-get install gedit
    Dont miss anything even it is small. one small pin is enough to bring down a man.

    do you mean to the command /etc/default/grub ? the answer i got is that bash: /etc/default/grub : Permission denied.

    Re: problem with resolution

    /etc/default/grub is a path, not a command. Thats why I wanted you to copy,paste and post the whole terminal output here using code tags:
    to ensure you give the right commands. "Permission denied" cannot be a valid answer when using sudo/gksudo, as long your user belongs to the sudoers group, which is default in Ubuntu.

    Np, its absolute beginner section. I want you to copy& paste the command, not to type.
    Paste into the terminal:

    Code:
    gksudo leafpad /etc/default/grub
    hit enter and paste the whole terminal content please.

    Yes, remove it. Make it look like
    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
    then close the file saving the changes. When closed, run:
    Code:
    sudo update-grub
    Then reboot
