Package: gedit
Version: 2.30.3-1
Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line ***
This bug occures with gedit running in Debian Linux in VirtualBox on
WinXP with an NTFS filesystem.
Editing a file on the host filesysten and saving it gives the following
error in a red bar on the screen:
Could not save the file /C/Temp/test-gedit.
Unexpected error: Error renaming temporary file: Text file busy
** (gedit:20691): WARNING **: Hit unhandled case 0 (Error renaming
temporary file: Text file busy) in parse_error.
The condensed strace output for this error is as follows:
20724 open("/C/Temp/test-gedit", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_LARGEFILE, 0666
<unfinished ...>
20724 <... open resumed> ) = 25
20724 open("/C/Temp/.goutputstream-P3PXHV",
O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_LARGEFILE, 0666 <unfinished ...>
20724 <... open resumed> ) = 26
20724 write(26, "hallo\nhallo\nhallo\n\n\n", 20 <unfinished ...>
20724 <... write resumed> ) = 20
20724 unlink("/C/Temp/test-gedit~" <unfinished ...>
20724 <... unlink resumed> ) = 0
20724 link("/C/Temp/test-gedit", "/C/Temp/test-gedit~") = -1 EPERM
(Operation not permitted)
20724 rename("/C/Temp/test-gedit", "/C/Temp/test-gedit~" <unfinished ...>
20724 <... rename resumed> ) = 0
20724 rename("/C/Temp/.goutputstream-P3PXHV", "/C/Temp/test-gedit"
<unfinished ...>
20724 <... rename resumed> ) = -1 ETXTBSY (Text file busy)
20724 close(26 <unfinished ...>
This suggests the reason for the problem:
The .goutputstream-P3PXHV file is being renamed before it is closed.
I believe this is a problem on NTFS...
This also suggests a workaround: make sure the 'Create backup copy'
editor mode is checked,
and do the save twice (ignoring the error on the first...)
Please change gedit and/or glib to aviod this error.
