"If I recall correctly from a previous discussion about this sort of thing, the problem is that when you su to root a lot of your environment which is required for the correct running of Gnome GUI apps is not set up appropriately.

Translation: We hate you all, you will learn vi, suck on it. Not having a working editor is generally considered to be a problem in an operating system. The problem has only been there for like 5 years. Like Donald Trump, Linux succeeds only by setting expectations so low they are easy to exceed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1575484 Title: "Set document metadata failed" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/1575484/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
