hello alladin

Do not use sudo gainroot, instead add /home/user before the slash in that command

mkdir /home/user/MyScripts

then you do not need root access since your creating a folder in your own home folder.

Explaination:
What you do without "/home/user/" is create a folder at the root directory instead which is possible with premissions but not really recommended or needed. if you really intend to create it there I recommend you use leafpad editor instead since pygtkeditor has problems launching with that command alone if you are using sudo gainroot, which is what is happening with the errors you got above. Just to emphasize again I wouldn't create it there. if you do not know what I'm talking about just add the "/home/user" and forget the explaination.

good luck.
