Editing files as the root user is potentially dangerous, and may break + your system in bad ways. Take great care when editing files as the root + user.

+
+ +

To edit files as the root user, launch gedit from the terminal + by entering:

+ sudo gedit + +

Using the sudo command, you will need to successfully enter + your password before gedit will open.

+ +

As an alternative to the sudo command, you may obtain + administrative privileges by entering:

+ su - + +

You would then launch gedit using the gedit + command.

+ + +

Once you have opened gedit with administrative privileges, + gedit will keep those privileges until you close it.
