I can't find vi in the programs list to open it with...so I tried "vi /ect/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php" in the console...and it comes up with a bunch of squiglys...like this:

Just for clarification for everyone trying to help, ubuntu is a little different than most distros. It doesnt use "su" in the conventional way to gain access to the root account. Everything is done through "sudo" (and its automatically setup for the user upon install)

Try
"sudo gedit /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php"

Weird...when I do that, it comes up with a blank screen.

Something can't be right...because when I try to chown it back to the root user, it says "no such file or directory"

Are you sure the file even exists at that path?

Yep, if I browse to it, I can open it up by double clicking it...and then it works fine(it just doesn't let me save).

That's exactly what you want. I've been using it since I installed kubuntu on my main computer a year ago. The only occasional glitch is sometimes it seems windows doesn't properly unmount the partition, so if the next time you turn it on you boot into windows again, it doesn't see it and you have to boot into linux and restart again for it to work in windows. This has happened 2-3 times out of the 20-30 I've started up windows, and I haven't lost any data or anything.

Cool, I will use that.

No idea on why its being weird on me with the config.inc.php then eh?

I think I can just leave it...under the user, it still has root, and the login type is config...I would like to set it to the real user(I deleted root from the permissions in phpmyadmin)...and I would like to use HTTP...but its fine I think...
