john@C90s:~$ sudo kwrite /etc/apt/sources.list
[sudo] password for john:
Error: "/var/tmp/kdecache-john" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0.
Error: "/tmp/kde-john" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0.
john@C90s:~$

I get the above when editing files with Kwrite....what do I change? thanks

Two choices. When running a GUI as sudo, use kdesu instead of sudo. So, in your post, use:

kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list

But easier, is to open Konqueror (Web Browser, and navigate to /etc/apt and then right-click on the sources.list file and select Actions > Edit as Root
