i have ubuntu 10.10 installed on a box. and i ssh to it from another computer.
when i do sudo vi /var/www/page.php
i enter a text editor. when when i try to type i hear that ding noise as in i cant type. what do i press to allow me to start typing? when i type :q that works and it quits it. but what allows me to start typing? thanks
2Matt Jenkin's list is a good primer but if things work out too difficult, use 'nano' instead. Its probably a lot closer to the text editors your used to. Instead of writing 'vi file', write 'nano file'. – Pricey – 2011-04-08T08:28:37.890
