        @bifelix89 If you are trying to edit config.txt using command line or ssh, just type sudo nano /boot/config.txt
        Or you can put your sd card on a usb reader and connect it to a pc, that way you can edit config.txt directly...

          Generally you do not want to mess with the permissions of such system files :)
          Just modify them with sudo or on a computer, its safer overall.
