Hallo,
I’m installing the Firewall with UFW on Ubuntu. When I run the command to set IPv6, I can not save and close the file. Please what is the key on the keyboard to save and exit?
I’m trying with ctrl+O and ctrl+X but it does not work.
Thak you! Gabriel

For the Linux noobs, like me, enter edit mode by pressing ‘i’, ‘l’, or ‘a’
once done editing hit ‘esc’ to go back to command mode
then :x + enter to save and exit
What Editor are you using (vi, nano, etc…)
If you are on vi you can try: :wq to exit and write :q! to exit without saving :w to write and continue editing.
