Cannot modify fstab

[Evil Ninja]

So, I was following the instructions to partition my second hard drive found here (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive#Determine%20Drive%20Inform ation) and I can't access my fstab to add the lines to it. Need help help fixing that.

gksu gedit /etc/fstab

or

gksudo gedit /etc/fstab

or

sudo nano /etc/fstab

Do you get any errors when you try to run:


sudo gedit /etc/fstab

?

It said the "gedit" command was not found.

Using that "sudo nano" command worked, but I'm curious now as to why "gedit" won't.

what, are you using kubuntu?

Xubuntu, like I have it tagged.

gedit is not installed in xubuntu by default.
you can use sudo mousepad.

[hivelocitydd]

sudo nano /etc/fstab

hope this will work

I see. Thanks.
