Bug ID: 364596 Summary: Swap on alternative directory failing Product: kate Version: 3.14.3 Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: application Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: massimo.burch...@gmx.de This is Kate 3.14.21 and kdevelop 4.90.01. After bug 362288 I tried using an alternative directory for swapping: ~/.kate.swp But the directory does not get any new files. Attaching strace to kdevelop I found some failed tries to write there: lstat("/home.crypt/mb/.kate.swp/\302\207\302\2147cd\303\217\37Sk\22\30\302\212o\302\234\302\241\303\206\303\274\303\204'\303\226.kate-swp", 0x7ffcc3ad3ac0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/home.crypt/mb/.kate.swp/\302\207\302\2147cd\303\217\37Sk\22\30\302\212o\302\234\302\241\303\206\303\274\303\204'\303\226.kate-swp", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC|O_CLOEXEC, 0666) = 38 lstat("/home.crypt/mb/.kate.swp/\302\207\302\2147cd\303\217\37Sk\22\30\302\212o\302\234\302\241\303\206\303\274\303\204'\303\226.kate-swp", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=48, ...}) = 0 unlink("/home.crypt/mb/.kate.swp/\302\207\302\2147cd\303\217\37Sk\22\30\302\212o\302\234\302\241\303\206\303\274\303\204'\303\226.kate-swp") = 0 lstat("/home.crypt/mb/.kate.swp/\302\207\302\2147cd\303\217\37Sk\22\30\302\212o\302\234\302\241\303\206\303\274\303\204'\303\226.kate-swp", 0x7ffcc3ad3ac0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/home.crypt/mb/.kate.swp/\302\207\302\2147cd\303\217\37Sk\22\30\302\212o\302\234\302\241\303\206\303\274\303\204'\303\226.kate-swp", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC|O_CLOEXEC, 0666) = 38 lstat("/home.crypt/mb/.kate.swp/\302\207\302\2147cd\303\217\37Sk\22\30\302\212o\302\234\302\241\303\206\303\274\303\204'\303\226.kate-swp", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=48, ...}) = 0 unlink("/home.crypt/mb/.kate.swp/\302\207\302\2147cd\303\217\37Sk\22\30\302\212o\302\234\302\241\303\206\303\274\303\204'\303\226.kate-swp") = 0 Reproducible: Always -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
