I found a work-around that works for me (for files on a mounted smb share, with gedit 2.22.1) Its a plugin that can be found here: http://chrisnicholls.ca/code/gedit-plugins/
It moves the original file to a temp directory and then saves the file. DISCLAIMER: I did not write the plugin, just found it on google. Use the plugin at your own risk, it may not work in your case or damage your files or whatever. -- 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
