Sudo gedit doesn't work!?

[Morph]

Hey!
When i try this command: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
in terminal it returns this: sudo: gedit: command not found
I don't know if it's a stupid question but does anyone know why and how to fix it?

gedit is the gnome editor. Its not on your system

replace gedit with nano and you'll be fine

Alternatively, if you want to edit using a mouse etc do
kdesu kate /boot/grub/menu.lst

he anwsered it but i'll add my two cents. nano will allow you to edit it within the terminal. its a terminal; editor. however kate for example is a GUI editor.

Yes - of course you can install gnome. Just run adept and request install of ubuntu-desktop, or run sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop. However, before you do - check that is what you want to do. This will download 131Mb of software and give you the complete Gnome desktop environment which you can choose in preference to kde at the choose session option where you login
