can not save change in terminal

Asked by Zoran Nikin

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

Can not save change in terminal about ufw. I would like to drop echo request.
I replaced

# ok icmp codes
-A ufw-before-input -p icmp --icmp-type destination-unreachable -j ACCEPT
-A ufw-before-input -p icmp --icmp-type source-quench -j ACCEPT
-A ufw-before-input -p icmp --icmp-type time-exceeded -j ACCEPT
-A ufw-before-input -p icmp --icmp-type parameter-problem -j ACCEPT
-A ufw-before-input -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -j ACCEPT

with this:

# ok icmp codes
-A ufw-before-input -p icmp --icmp-type destination-unreachable -j DROP
-A ufw-before-input -p icmp --icmp-type source-quench -j DROP
-A ufw-before-input -p icmp --icmp-type time-exceeded -j DROP
-A ufw-before-input -p icmp --icmp-type parameter-problem -j DROP
-A ufw-before-input -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -j DROP

But I can not save the change.

Which command are you used to change the settings... ?

Please use the sudo command to get temporary administrative super user root permission.

Thank you very much!
I managed to solve the problem using few tutorials, including some explanations from launchpad.
I am sorry for mistakenly reporting a bug and actually it was a question but it seemed to me as a bug (I am a newbie). Thank you! Zoran Nikin, Serbia
