Kate gaining write access

[oldgarol]

Trying to get my Palm working I need to write to etc/udev/rules but when trying to save the file get the following message:

The document could not be saved, as it was not possible to write to file:///etc/udev/rules.d/10-custom.rules.
Check that you have write access to this file or that enough disk space is available.

Could one of you kind souls give me direction on gaining write access Please

Sure. The problem appears to be that you are running kate as a mere user, while trying to save the file to a protected folder in the Linux system.

Start kate in Super User mode, by typing in a konsole window

kdesu kate

Then proceed with editing and saving your new rule.

Or just right click on the file and select "Edit as root".
