So, in summary: - Affects the default text editor - Open for 3.5 years now (!!!) - Over 100 comments... - Gedit blames CIFS. CIFS (and VirtualBox) blames Gedit. From virtualbox.org:
Q: I get an error "Unexpected error: Text file busy." when trying to edit a file. A: When using gedit, this can happen on shared folders. This is a bug in gedit, not VB. Use a different editor. I'm working in a Big Organization with a CIO who's a Windows Lover. I've used virtualization to get around SafeBoot and other Windows-only garbage. I now have access to all the tools I know and love... *except* the text editor. Ye gods! Don't you want Ubuntu to integrate smoothly into a Windows-centric environment? See Bug #1. I agree with the many others who are stuck with this problem. This bug needs to be upgraded to Importance: High. -- gedit fails to save files over smbfs/cifs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/34813 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
