Just done some more testing and if I move the evince directory to a none fuse filesystem with a symlink , the last_settings file gets created
e.g. lstat64("/home/rmcgilli/.gnome2/evince/last_settings", 0xbfbc753c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/home/rmcgilli/.gnome2/evince/last_settings", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_LARGEFILE, 0666) = 9 fstat64(9, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=0, ...}) = 0 close(9) = 0 lstat64("/home/rmcgilli/.gnome2/evince/last_settings", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=0, ...}) = 0 Quick look around and a bug(44886)has previously been reported with fuse 2.4 and O_WRONLY|O_CREAT , but was fixed; so wonder if this is a regression; will see if I can find the bug. However, this means it's not an evince bug; but a fuse bug. -- evince not open https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/571725 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
