I can't save changes after editing 



sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces


Text before editing: 



auto lo

iface lo inet ...


Edited to:



auto eth0

iface eth0 inet dhcp


What key combination or sequence must I press to save this?

You're probably in editing/insert mode. You need to type the following sequence :




  1. Esc, to quit edit mode and fallback to command mode ;

  2. :+w+q, start with a : (colon) then press w and finally q to write and quit (or just :w to write without quitting)

  3. then press Enter to valid.
