nano /boot/config.txt

Mon Jan 27, 2014 9:02 pm

when I do nano /boot/config.txt and try to save changes i get the message: "Error writing /boot/config.txt : Permission denied.
I tried to change the #config_hdmi_boost=4 because I have video problems as I wrote here: http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewt ... 28&t=67765

The boot partition is only accessible as a root user. Try

sudo nano /boot/config.txt

which means the nano command is run as root.
