So I have been interested in starting to experiment with command lines to tweak/fix issues with my n810.

I am a complete newbie with programing but am a quick learner. I have searched around for threads that give you a jump start on modifying command lines, but most assume a basic knowledge using xterm. Does anyone know of a good place to go and get info on the basics? The wiki page doesn't give you much.

The first tweak I was going to attempt is the page scrolling change found here http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...4&postcount=11
When I typed in the first line it came back, "permission denied"

I tried to type:
/usr/lib/microb-engine/chrome/toolkit/content/global/platformHTMLBindings.xml

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

You need root ("admin") rights to edit files outside /home/user.

You're really starting from scratch here, so I would recommend reading up a bit before you try to do anything. It's easy to screw stuff up if you just bumble around and type things in without knowing what you're typing.

There are a lot of other threads on the subject with a lot of useful info. Searching will be a worthwhile investment of your time.

If you typed that long line into X Terminal and hit enter, you told your tablet to execute the file "platformHTMLBindings.xml", located at "/usr/lib/microb-engine/chrome/toolkit/content/global/". This will fail, as you don't have permission to execute that file. With permission, it would still fail, as the file isn't an executable program.

You need an editor. "joe" is nice.

Thanks for this links!

Yeah, I guess it's pretty clear that I can't just jump in!
But Iam definitely interested in learning more, so I think I have my work cut out for me.
