All of the configurations and settings in Linux are saved in text files. Even though you most often can edit configurations through the graphical interface, you may occasionally have to edit them by hand. Kate is the default Kubuntu text editor, which can be launched by going to → → .
At times in this guide, Kate is run from the command line using kdesu, as most configuration files require root privileges to alter them. It is recommended that you also run kdesu from the command line when shown in this guide.
Dacă aveți nevoie să folosiți un editor în linia de comandă, puteți folosi nano, care este un editor de texte simplu și ușor de folosit. Când îl lansați din linia de comandă, folosiți întotdeauna comanda următoare, care asigură faptul că editorul nu va introduce linii noi:
nano -w
For more information about how to use nano, refer to the guide on the wiki.
There are also quite a few other terminal-based editors available in Kubuntu, popular ones include VIM and Emacs (the pros and cons of each are cause for much friendly debate within the Linux community). These are often more complex to use than nano, but are also more powerful.
