Your gedit is using the root user. *Are you working as root? ** [You should never work as root!]* So to immediately resolve these errors, which relate to a missing directory: [root@cgws1 sbin]# gedit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf (gedit:2673): Gtk-WARNING **: Attempting to store changes into `/root/.local/share/recently- > > used.xbel', but failed: Failed to create file > '/root/.local/share/recently-used.xbel.F2PF1V': No such file or directory > > (gedit:2673): Gtk-WARNING **: Attempting to set the permissions of > `/root/.local/share/recently-used.xbel', but failed: No such file or > directory you must: # sudo su # cd ~root/ # chmod -R a+rw /root/.local There is a good possibility that root/.local/share/recently-used.xbel does not exist. You would make the directories then, based on what is missing: # du -h # watch for directories under .local # mkdir /root/.local # mkdir /root/.local/share And then chmod it: # chmod -R u+rwx ~root/ Note: chmod -R is going to do it on all existing files, not just directories. To target all the .local directories you can use find + xargs find .local/ -type d | xargs chmod u+wrx That will fix these issues immediately, however you could also use *gksudo*which runs gedit under root permissions.
