Thanks Bob, as Bob mentioned,i like using Vi and pico are good editors i think these will help if gedit fails.

Thanks!

Yes I think we have a section in our manual that refers to gedit on
ubuntu server which won't work.  Instead of gedit you need to use a
terminal based editor like vi (if you already know it) or nano or pico
which may be easier for beginners.

You also won't be able to run pgadmin directly on the server.  Either
use the psql command interface or access using pgadmin from a client
machine (if you've set up postgres permissions to allow you to do
this).
