I was trying to edit GRUB file at /etc/default/ for fixing the brightness issue.

But I am unable to do that as there is no option to save GRUB file after edit. This may be due to some permission issue.

How should I edit this file?

And issue I am trying to fix is: "display brightness problem with ubuntu 13.04"

You need to open the file as root.

gksu gedit /etc/default/grub

On 13.04 or later you might have to first install gksu:

sudo apt-get install gksudo

    I'd also like to point out that if you're running LXDE or XFCE you can use xedit instead of gedit while in a root terminal. Jul 24, 2014 at 19:51
