oddly enough it depends on how one accesses the remote files. opening and modifying a text file with xed work on direct access (through /run/user ....) through the symbolic link, I can read it but attempt to save after modifications will fail
Could not save the file xxxx xed cannot handle file: locations in write mode. Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again. other text editors will fail differently, leafpad truncates the file to 0 bytes! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1612708 Title: Symbolic Link does not work in 16.04 LTS as in 14.04 LTS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/colord/+bug/1612708/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
