Hi!
I'm using Mac OS X 10.7.5.
I'm not able to unlock refind.conf. I tried unlocking from terminal, but that didn't do it.
Any ideas??
The refind.conf file should be read/write; however, you may need root
privileges to edit it. You can do this by preceding a command with
"sudo," as in:
sudo emacs refind.conf
Alternatively, you can use chown and chmod to adjust ownership and/or
permissions:
Thank you! That did the trick!
However, for some reason chown and chmod didn't do it. I had to modify it in emacs as you said, and delete the original.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
