Hello

To edit a .conf file, you need to do it like a normal file: gedit filename.conf for example.
Note that some .conf files have a specific program for editing that helps avoid syntax errors.

Hi,

I would just add that generally to edit a config file you need the necessary rights (root) so under Ubuntu: 
sudo gedit fichier.conf
The editors are numerous under GNU/Linux, both graphical like Gedit, Nedit, Kwrite, Kate, etc., and console-based with Vi, Emacs, Nano, etc.
