change boot up default
I need to change by bootup default after a recent Ubuntu upgrade. My dual boot system is defaulting to memtest86+. I followed instructions I found in another Q&A here (dual boot ranking 2006) on how to edit menu.lst, changing the “default 0” to the default I want (based on the list of boot options at the end of the textfile). When I save the file I get the message: "Could not save the file /boot/grub/
This is my personal computer and I'm the only user. How else can I get permission to edit a file? And what location is the error message referring to? I didn't set up the partition (Windows and Linux) and I didn't load Ubuntu. I'm new to Linux.
Thank you.
