I'm getting exactly the same with a brand new installation on my own SD Card (32Gb). Any help would be appreciated.

Found this in another thread

As the file system is read only you will also need to issue the following...

sudo mount -o remount /

to allow you to write the file back to disk before you issue the sudo nano command to edit the file.

 
Hope this helps. I'm assuming that like me you have an older model B which you want to run this on :)
