Hello --
I was using geany on a machine with X windows only. In order to edit files in the /var/ directory all I had to do was call geany from command line as root or sudo geany as me. Recently I reformatted to a newer version of Linux, this time using gnome, and now whenever I try to run geany as root, I get an error message telling me there is no configuration file. I tried moving the file from my home to /usr/share/geany -- no luck. Would someone please tell me what I am missing?
Are you working on a sudo-only system like Ubuntu which doesn't have any loginable real root account?
Thanks, Frank
