Unfortunately I am getting a lot more experience with this bug. I think the following points summarize the factors the combine to produce this bug:
1. the network share must reside on a Windows file server (or maybe another non-Unix-type file system). 2. the network file sharing protocol is cifs (and/or sshfs according to other related bugs). 3. the Linux clients run gedit, Geany, Vim, Eclipse or any other Linux app that attempts to move/rename an open file. And in Ubuntu Hardy, smbfs also seems to cause the same problem that cifs does. I think the prior comments make it clear that the gedit devs don't plan to fix this bug. Neither do the cifs devs. So anyone waiting for the devs to get around to fixing it may have a long wait. (Also, if you read the above comments you'll see that at least one patch has been submitted but it isn't favored by the devs.) -- gedit fails to save files over smbfs/cifs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/34813 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
