No I just copied my screen and saved it in my documents, it was the only thing I could think about. I tried cp xorg.conf xorg.conf-backup-oct4-07 but the permission is denied. See the terminal screen:<br>meg@meg-desktop:/etc/X11$
<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"> cp xorg.conf xorg.conf-backup-oct4-07</span><br>cp: cannot create regular file `xorg.conf-backup-oct4-07': Permission denied<br>meg@meg-desktop:/etc/X11$ <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">
cp xorg.conf xorg.conf-backup-oct4-07</span><br>cp: cannot create regular file `xorg.conf-backup-oct4-07': Permission denied<br>meg@meg-desktop:/etc/X11$ <br>What does it mean by cannot create regular file? do I use sudo in front of it or is there a problem I can't see? (Between the two commands I went in my document and change the name of my backup to something else)
