i am sorry but i am quite new to linux. The whole folder is protected 
and i cannot change the content of the file or modify anything there. I 
am not sure about how to do this. Previously i used SuSE and i think 
there i would probably login as administrator and then it would allow to 
do it. But as far as i understand in Ububtu you have to sudo to do this. 
But then i am not sure how to sudo and then edit the file
