Permission denied…

When I try and modify my controller .cfg files I get an access denied message and this happened out of the blue. I have never seen the message before today even when modifying .cfg files before.

Accidentally bumped another topic when I meant to post a new one

where is the file located?
/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/configs/ ?

For some reSon my mobile wot display wide enough to see your entire directory but that looks right. The directory from floobz controller config post with attached files

ahh ok, you can just do this:
sudo chown -R pi /opt/retropie/

i have done that without any problems, i also have done the same for /etc/emulationstation/ and /home/pi/

Do I have to use Sudo chown everytime I boot?

I had used that before but not today, it might be the difference and honestly don’t know what the sudo chown command actually does.

I’m new I this website/Linux/rpi and I see a lot of ‘random’ command line type stuff posted. Knowing the purpose of the command might give me some context and help me in the future.
