Help Me Enjoy [Install] Kubuntu Please

No I posted about Kate which is irrelevant if using nano

Crap, I don't know nano; maybe i need to go there. How? I like the one where I copy the raw text (code?), go to grub in konsole and march on. Is that doable? Now remember I'm simply copying the code from this thread.

[elijathegold]

So to catch up.

You have pasted the supplied code in to a file called grub using Kate.
That file is in your home directory.

If so then you can simply copy the file to the /etc/default directory using Dolphin but as root.

[logan01]

In the terminal?

[elijathegold]

Give me a minute to type something up...

[logan01]

alrighty.

[elijathegold]

So, starting from scratch.

Copy the code as provided and then open a terminal window. Run the following commands and key presses:

cd /etc/default
sudo nano grub
<enter your user password>
Press Shift + Insert to paste the code
Press Ctrl +O to save
Press Ctrl + X to exit

As I said earlier nothing will appear to happen when entering your password. Once this is completed the grub file will be ready and we can continue with the final steps.

[logan01]

ok, lets give her a spin.

[logan01]

Before I do, he said copy all from top to bottom. Sure about that?

[elijathegold]

Everything in the box labelled as code.

[logan01]

I can't tell what is labeled as code. Just this?

GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

[elijathegold]

Copy the lot. It may come in handy later although the lines you chose are currently the only ones that will actually do anything.

# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.

[logan01]

ok. Copying all.

[logan01]

Should I see the code pasted? Don't see it. I copied, did the shift/insert and I see nothing. At the bottom are things to select from and right above them, highlighted, is [New File ]

[elijathegold]

Hmmmm.... Try right clicking and selecting paste.

There are two clipboards in Linux and if one of them doesn't work the other usually will.

[logan01]

what about this at the bottom? Save modified buffer (ANSWERING "No" WILL DESTROY CHANGES) ? Y (yes)?
