I'm trying to configure the pin outs on EMC2 but when I go to save the modified standard_pinout.hal file I get an error that tells me that I'm not the owner and I cannot save the file. I have gone to the properties of the file and I'm not allowed to change any of the properties of the file. Any suggestions?

Thanks

you need to copy the configs to your home directory. The config files are samples only.

Thanks I'll give that shot.

You need to run the file manager in super user mode. This will allow you to copy files to any directory unrestricted.
