No need to reopen this bug if it's fixed, but a data point: I wonder if the internal issue was that the vfs/gnome-screenshot was checking for enough free space prior to saving? If so, I believe the RAMFS doesn't report that. So, my workaround was to change that dir to tmpfs:
$ sudo mount -t tmpfs -o size=4M,noatime,mode=755,uid=kevin,gid=kevin kevins_ram_disk ~/ram The tmpfs requires a size (e.g. 4M) and therefore lets the VFS check this. It's still a bug that it couldn't deal well with ramfs , but it's actually better to have a size limitation for my uses anyway ... -- gnome-screenshot won't save to a ram disk https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/259186 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
