This might be similar to the Virtualbox/gedit fails to save bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/341725) which I suspect is caused by glib and the way it saves to a temporary file, then renames without closing the file. The bug has been recorded as: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=656225
** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #656225 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=656225 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/34813 Title: gedit fails to save files over smbfs/cifs Status in Light-Weight Text Editor for Gnome: Confirmed Status in SambaServer: Invalid Status in SSHFS Mounter: Confirmed Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “gedit” package in CentOS: New Bug description: Saving files over a cifs/smbfs server doesnt work. You can open file, edit then save perfectly. But repeated saves after give you this error: "The file /home/dhonn/website/arrays.php has been modified since reading it. If you save it, all the external changes could be lost. Save it anyway?" The think is lying to me because I havent made any external changes. When I click "Save Anyway", i get this error: "Could not save the file /home/dhonn/website/arrays.php." But on the third try it works just fine. Here are the error messages, btw there are also GUI glitches too: http://dhonn.com/images/gedit-0.jpg http://dhonn.com/images/gedit-1.jpg To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gedit/+bug/34813/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
