The problem still exists in Ubuntu 13.10 (Linux 3.11.0-20-generic x86_64) with gedit 3.8.3-0ubuntu3
My fstab: //ourserver.local/myshare /mnt/mymount cifs uid=1001,file_mode=0600,dir_mode=0700,credentials=/myhome/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm,nounix 0 0 I found an interesting link which assumes that the reason is a time- synchronization problem: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-495454-start-0.html#3567475. This makes sense since our NAS is a Netgear ReadyNAS with a time drift of ~20s per day and NTP doesn't seem to work on it. Latter means that I cannot do any serious tests on it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/34813 Title: gedit fails to save files over smbfs/cifs Status in Light-Weight Text Editor for Gnome: Confirmed Status in SambaServer: Invalid Status in SSHFS Mounter: Confirmed Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “gedit” package in CentOS: New Bug description: Saving files over a cifs/smbfs server doesnt work. You can open file, edit then save perfectly. But repeated saves after give you this error: "The file /home/dhonn/website/arrays.php has been modified since reading it. If you save it, all the external changes could be lost. Save it anyway?" The think is lying to me because I havent made any external changes. When I click "Save Anyway", i get this error: "Could not save the file /home/dhonn/website/arrays.php." But on the third try it works just fine. Here are the error messages, btw there are also GUI glitches too: http://dhonn.com/images/gedit-0.jpg http://dhonn.com/images/gedit-1.jpg To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gedit/+bug/34813/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
