plex media server - help me find text nano files

Sat May 07, 2016 5:07 pm

1. Get into the nano text file that lets me set a static ip (I need to change it to another ip) because now I'm using a wired connection from a hub and the ip has changed which has screwed up my server.

2. I also got into some other text files and enabled the wifi card by inputting my SSID and password manually. I'd like to clean those settings out and disable the wifi

So I guess my questions are does anyone know what text files I need to get into? is there a list of nano text files on raspberian somewhere? and what was the command to get into the nano text files? I know its sudo nano /something/something

"nano" is the name of a text editor.
There is many different editors to choose from but "nano" is usually used in the guides because its always installed and its fairly usable by most people.

Most settings files for Linux will be located under "/etc" and most likely you will find you wifi settings in "/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf".
most of the files under "/etc" is owned by super-user "root" that is why you usually have to do "sudo nano filename"
