Bug ID: 388025
Summary: Failed to create backup copy
Product: kate
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
Version 17.12.0
Arch Linux (fully updated)
To reproduce:
Kate Settings > Open/Save > Advanced tab
Under "Backup on Save" check local files and remote files. Apply.
All other settings can be default.
Mount an SSHFS share. Save a file to that location. After saving it, attempt to
modify it and save it again (which will cause Kate to produce a backup file).
(You may need to close it and reopen the file before modifying. But I'm not
sure about that step.)
Expected result:
File is saved, backup copy is made and no error messages are producted.
Actual result - error message shown next:
Failed to create backup copy. -- Kate
For file /home/user/documents/test.txt no backup copy
could be created before saving.
If an error occurs while saving, you might lose the
data of this file.
A reason could be that the media you write to is full
or the directory of the file is read-only for you.
[Try to Save Nevertheless]
[Cancel]
I checked permissions and disk space. Both are fine. Permissions have not
changed, my user owns the file and the containing directory and has rw
permissions. I'm using only about 2% of the space on the device.
Other editors (e.g., nano) work normally. If I disable creating backups in Kate
settings, Kate works normally and I do not receive any error messages.
On my systems that are still running Kate 17.08.3, saving to the SSHFS mounts
works as expected with backups. The problem happens when Kate is upgraded from
17.08.3 to 17.12.0 with no other changes to SSHFS or anything else (as far as I
can tell - of course, the Kate upgrade comes with a lot of other packages too,
so I cannot rule out some other component as being the cause of of issue).
