Tried tr -d '\r' config.conf conf.conf but it didn't work, gave me an empty line after I pressed enter, the ~ thingy didn't reappear and had to close the terminal before I could use it again apt-get install leafpad Started the download and installation of Leafpad Geez this is confusing lol didn't know it could download from the terminal *blush*
tr -d '\r' config.conf conf.conf
tr -d '\r' < config.conf > conf.conf
