  • oh, if I press ^X, nothings happen... just a beep... huhuhuhu

  • @jay24nunez That's the only way to save it. Ctrl+x

  • The file modifies and saves in terminal, but when I check the actual hosts file, it stays the same as before. What am I doing wrong?

  • @dmargosian06 Did you press "Y" then enter?
