I'm guessing that you opened a terminal and did su, became root, and ran this, and got the error.

Instead of that, properly configure sudo to give you permissions and run the file.

Search here if you don't know how to use sudo

That's not true.
Just need to remove hostname strings from that file and it loads perfectly. One can remove them for example with this command:

sed -i 's/^'`hostname`'//g' .nvidia-settings-rc

What the point of configuring the root user account?
