I am using Ctrl X to " Exit " and then save the file in nano editor.

Works OK until I restart my system next day.



Perhaps i need to use Ctrl O "Write out"



As far as changing file location - I just "copy /edited" in /usr/bin where the original is.

It is a good idea since I am very dangerous at this point.



i did checked another copy - with same problem and this is what I got


Code:
pi@pi:/usr/bin $ ls -l raspi-config.copy
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 53398 Aug  5 16:23 raspi-config.copy


Should I see "x" there ?

Well moving the file did not exactly work
I can list it - ls , edit it , but still no run.



Here is my output , it is title redundant and messy , but I am posting it here in case I did something obviously stupid.





Code:
pi@pi:~ $  pi@pi:/usr/bin $ sudo mv raspi-config.test /home/pi  # move to pi's directory
-bash: pi@pi:/usr/bin: No such file or directory
pi@pi:~ $ # you are running now as the user pi, you only need sudo to cp the filepi@pi:~ $ pi@pi:/usr/bin $ sudo mv raspi-config.test /home/pi  # move to pi's directory
pi@pi:~ $ cd /usr/bin
pi@pi:/usr/bin $ sudo mv raspi-config.test /home/pi  # move to pi's directory
pi@pi:/usr/bin $ cd 
pi@pi:~ $ /usr/bin/sudo chown pi raspi-config.test
pi@pi:~ $ nano raspi_config.test
pi@pi:~ $ ls
Desktop    oldconffiles           python_games       wpa_supplicant
Documents  org.eclipse.tcf.agent  raspi-config.test
Downloads  Pictures               Templates
Music      Public                 Videos
pi@pi:~ $ nano raspi-config.test  editing works 
pi@pi:~ $ raspi-config.test
-bash: raspi-config.test: command not found
pi@pi:~ $ sudo raspi-config.test
sudo: raspi-config.test: command not found
pi@pi:~ $ chmod +x raspi-config.test
pi@pi:~ $ raspi-config.test
-bash: raspi-config.test: command not found
pi@pi:~ $ sudo raspi-config.test
sudo: raspi-config.test: command not found
pi@pi:~ $


I need a break, so Ill wont immediately respond.

Appreciate all the help.





PS I got reprimand for not posting code in tags.

SO I try to copy tagged post but could not figure it out.

Did the normal "cut and paste" using mouse.

SO is there a trick to "copy tagged code "?

Right now we know neither.

What's with "us" and "we" ?

Apparently it is you who needs the info I already shared in my posts.



I am getting good help I need now without "what and why" details.

Hope it will continue.



Can you add anything constructive to the discussion without getting the info you asked for ?
