i can't exit

Did you edit with sudo? If not say no to discard the changes and edit the file as root

[logan01]

doing it now.

[logan01]

seems like it gets stuck after i do save. at the bottom it'll say File Name to Write: /etc/default/grub I do the control o followed by control x and nothing happens.

[elijathegold]

Press Enter After Ctrl o

[logan01]

Believe thaat worked. Why is it when I enter sudo update-grub, I get this:
/usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig: 1: /etc/default/grub: 0: not found

[elijathegold]

Can you post the contents of /etc/default/grub?

I'm probably going to have tome back to this in the morning... struggling to stay awake now.

[logan01]

No problem friend. Get some sleep. Thanks very much.

See that 0 at the very very top line? Delete it.

Thanks for your help. Auto-translate doesn't help any.

ok, shall do. too bad that must be done in terminal.

Do Post #355. KISS -- use Snowhog's method, Post #291:

kdesudo kate /etc/default/grub

do the edit, Save, exit.

(nano is nice, experts like it, I never could slow down enough to be patient enough to learn it; but Snowhog's method is easy and clean)

[Qqmike]

Well, I showed you another way:

kdesudo dolphin

then go to work as you usually do IN THE DOLPHIN that pops up, ignoring the terminal, when done, hit the X at top right of Dolphin to exit it and the terminal closes and you are done.

[Qqmike]

After you make that quick edit ;-) and kill that zero at top, run
sudo update-grub
again
then re-boot to see the effect on that DOS=scrolling -- it should stop now!
