files under /etc are protected so you need to be carefull about any changes you make or you may cause more problems than you fix

Open a terminal enter

gksudo gedit <file>

Where <file> is the full name of the file including the path.

Edit the file save then close gedit. Job done.

Can you help with this problem?
