Hi everyone. I have a strange problem. I cant upload anything to Uno. So i tried find some infromation. And find some answers about preferences.txt file. So i try to edit this file but have:

[user@localhost home]$ ~/.arduino/preferences.txt

-bash: /home/user/.arduino/preferences.txt: Permission denied




And even in root i have this:

[root@localhost user]# .arduino/preferences.txt
-bash: .arduino/preferences.txt: Permission denied




So maybe some one can help me. Thanks.

You are trying to execute the preferences.txt file, which is just a text file and not an executable.

Yes. Just used this kwrite ~/.arduino/preferences.txt with normal user works fine. Thank you.
