Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gedit
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1 Release: 8.04 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-cache policy gedit gedit: Installed: 2.22.3-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 2.22.3-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 2.22.3-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://dk.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-updates/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2.22.1-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://dk.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages When using gedit to edit files remotely it wont always let me save my file again depending on the permissions on the parent directory. Example: Log into a remote machine. Create a file called test1 in my home directory. Create a file called test2 in /var/www The directory /var/www is owned by root. Make sure that both files are locally editable. Log out of the remote machine. Open Gedit and open the 2 files. Now the file test1 can be edited without a problem But the file test2 cannot, I get the error: "Could not save the file sftp://server/var/www/test2. You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file. Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again." I suspect that Gedit wants to create a new file in the directories, delete the old one and then move the new file to the old location. Since /var/www isn't writeable by me it wont let me save the file test2. I expected to be able to edit both files via Gedit. ** Affects: gedit (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: Binary package hint: gedit + + [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lsb_release -rd + Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1 + Release: 8.04 + [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-cache policy gedit + gedit: + Installed: 2.22.3-0ubuntu1 + Candidate: 2.22.3-0ubuntu1 + Version table: + *** 2.22.3-0ubuntu1 0 + 500 http://dk.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-updates/main Packages + 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status + 2.22.1-0ubuntu1 0 + 500 http://dk.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages When using gedit to edit files remotely it wont always let me save my file again depending on the permissions on the parent directory.
