I'm getting the same error on the latest Ubuntu 9.10. I encountered it on SFTP and on SMB shares mounted via gvfs/nautilus. But I noticed that gedit does save the changes to the document, even if it says otherwise. But it disables saving altogether for this document until you close it.
I also tried editing the same file on a SMB/SFTP share with Openoffice and it edited it without complaint. So it does not seem to be a general gvfs bug. -- unable to save via FTP/SFTP https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/407729 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
