[Bug 34813] Re: gedit fails to save files over smbfs/cifs
My fstab already has this set as smbfs (not cifs), I already have the backup option unchecked, and this is still a problem for me (and has been on every Ubuntu installation I've ever had for the past five years). It ONLY happens with gedit, and ONLY when saving to a Samba filesystem. The NAS (network attached storage device) that I use is a Data Robotics DroboFS Pro. I use it to store files collaboratively across five or six computers. On all other programs in Linux, as well as every program I use on Mac OSX and any version of Windows, my files are stored and retrieved just fscking fine. No problems. So, when I hear people complaining about how this is a bug with Samba, CIFS, NFS, Windows architecture, NetBIOS protocols, the Linux kernel, underpants gnomes, whatever... I have to laugh, because this is clearly a gedit bug. One that has been active for OVER FIVE YEARS. I'm going to implement my own solution going forward: I'll simply use a text editor that isn't total bullshit. But at any rate, maybe you guys might consider fixing the problem rather than trying to defer blame onto everyone else. Here are some details. Hope they help.

[Bug 34813] Re: gedit fails to save files over smbfs/cifs
Sebastien, your comment made me laugh. Linux *is* for power users. My grandmother or parents or even sister (who is on myspace all day long) would not use Linux. Anyone using gedit is most likely a power user as well because if they were just a dumb user typing a paper for school or a letter to a friend, they would be using Open Office write or some email front end or website front end to enter the text. Next, SAMBA is hardly a power user thing. If you're on ANY kind of network/LAN, you are no doubt using samba or the Microsoft equivalent of it. Lastly, the damn bug is THREE years old and NO other program has this problem. This is just typical of Linux developers. They always want to claim it's a desktop replacement and how great it is over Windows or OS-X, but then refuse to fix things as it's much sexier to implement new features than work on bugs. Or my other favorite is how they throw back the why don't YOU fix it and submit a patch. -- 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
[Bug 34813] Re: gedit fails to save files over smbfs/cifs
I did post a patched version a long time ago that worked for some people but it was for Intrepid so is now out of date. I'm still running Intrepid so that makes it difficult for me to help. It appears to me that there is more than one bug if a fix works for some but not for all. This makes the issue very confusing to a developer to fix. Can I suggest that anyone who still has the bug does the following; Install strace if it isn't already installed Close all gedits From a terminal, run: strace gedit 21|grep -v strace /tmp/strace.log In the gedit that runs, do as little as possible to reproduce the fault As soon as the fault occurs, go back to the terminal and press Ctrl-C to stop the logging immediately Then post the files /tmp/strace.log and /proc/mounts making sure that they don't contain any confidential information you don't want to reveal, as well as the filename and location that you were saving to so the logs can be searched easily. strace.log will be quite large. This information is essential for a developer to figure out what is going on without just guessing. I can't promise anything though - the amount of effort required all depends on the results. -- 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

Unless there are issues I'm not aware of, we could fix this by always enabling the behavior triggered when enabling the Create a backup copy of files before saving option, and then removing the capability for the user to disable that functionality. (Note that this is a workaround that works the last time I tried it, and is documented.) It'd be an easy fix.

[Bug 34813] Re: gedit fails to save files over smbfs/cifs
This is purely speculation, but I think I know the reason why this bug occurs. I've been getting this problem constantly over the past few days. I'm using SSHFS to mount my remote web server, which has of late been a fairly high-latency connection. I have a feeling that this has something to do with the way gedit handles modified stamps. I think that the modified stamp on files aren't set until they are finished saving, and because it's a high-latency mount, saving takes a few moments. When I start trying to edit the file again, gedit checks to see if the file has been modified by checking stamps, but since I saved a few moments ago, and the modified stamp says that it happened once the file finished saving on the remote end, it thinks there was an edit. The only way I could conceive of this being fixable is if gedit has a configuration option to disable checking the modified stamp, or ignores what it perceives to be recent modifications. -- 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

Unable to reproduce with gedit 2.24.2-0ubuntu1 and sshfs to an rsync.net account. Saving seems to work fine, regardless of whether the backup before saving option is selected or not. The fix that Brent mentions appears to be for a previous version of gedit from comment #5 in the gnome bug, which modifies how files are saved. gedit 2.42 has two mechanisms to save files - local and gio (ie. sshfs/cifs) - presumably to address this issue - so that patch will no longer work (it would apply to local saves, not remote saves). -- 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
Re: [Bug 34813] Re: gedit fails to save files over smbfs/cifs
@Robie Iirc, the gio pathway is unrelated to this bug: an sshfs mount is a 'local' mount (which is the root of the problem). Saving files to gnome sftp:// and smb:// file urls works fine (which is why some of us users stopped caring about this bug years ago :p). If that's correct, then it's completely appropriate to not treat gio urls differently, to do otherwise would just introduce a bug in _that_ system.

[Bug 34813] Re: gedit fails to save files over smbfs/cifs
I have just slammed into this myself and wasted several hours trying to debug 'sshfs' thinking that was gone haywire. I usually use Eclipse PDT and my files saved fine. Then I was starting a new project, but didn't want the bloat of Eclipse just yet while I copied files into directories and modified basic template parameters. My files would save the very first time, but subsequent saves weren't working. I tried setting them to 666 and the upstream dirs to 777 and still it failed. I noticed that if I deleted the files from an ssh terminal, then clicked save in gedit they worked every time. The only other thing I noticed was there was a ~ (backup) file. I then turned that option off in gedit's preferences and now it saves all the time. I can also edit and save from my desktop to the sshfs files with VIM no problemo (although I don't use ~ backup files on there either, so this may be a red-herring) So this is certainly a strange bug with gedit and NOT sshfs. I use Ubuntu 8.10 with all current updates. -- 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

Re: [Bug 34813] Re: gedit fails to save files over smbfs/cifs
Thanks Darko, but this isn't a solution, it's a work-around. I am using GEdit because a) I am very familiar with it and b) I have LaTeX setup with it exactly the way I like. At this point in time, switching to another text editor (regardless of whether I would ultimately think it was better than GEdit or not) is not an option. From what I gather, the problem seems to be that the GEdit devs have chosen their way of saving files because they are convinced it is more efficient. Maybe this is the case. I know that GEdit prides itself on having few options and many sensible defaults, but maybe this issue is large enough that it would warrant a checkbox in the preferences dialog so that the user can choose which method of saving they prefer. The code bloat due to adding an option like this would be minimal; the biggest hit would be in the user-interface, which I do understand is an issue with the devs, but sometimes defaults just aren't enough. -Scott On Fri, Dec 5, 2008 at 3:19 AM, Darko Vrsic [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Scott Armitage wrote: Or, alternatively, a GEdit plugin that I can install?

[Bug 34813] Re: gedit fails to save files over smbfs/cifs
I think there are two different bugs overlapping in this ticket. Over sshfs, gedit and anjuta (on gutsy and hardy), fail to save and display a message with something like 'You cannot save ...'. The problem and the message go away if the remote filesystem is mounted with sshfs -o uid=$UID. This seems to indicate that gedit and anjuta are checking the owner and permission bits of the file before trying to write instead of actually trying to save the file. The issue on smbfs with file modified times might be a different issue altogether. -- 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

I am sure this is not a proper way to fix it but I don't know enough
about gedit to trace this all the way. From what I can tell though the
error spawns in gedit-local-document-saver.c and it doesn't occur in vi:
if (lsaver-priv-doc_mtime 0
statbuf.st_mtime != lsaver-priv-doc_mtime
((saver-flags GEDIT_DOCUMENT_SAVE_IGNORE_MTIME) == 0))
{
g_set_error (lsaver-priv-error,
GEDIT_DOCUMENT_ERROR,
GEDIT_DOCUMENT_ERROR_EXTERNALLY_MODIFIED,
Externally modified);
goto out;
}
I've tried setting ahead and behind times on both server but I still
keep getting the error. Finally I commented out the entire if statement
and rebuild gedit. Works fine now but I am definitely missing out on
time stamp changes. Right now it's so frustrating though and I love the
editor so until gedit team has an official fix this will do.

[Bug 34813] Re: gedit fails to save files over smbfs/cifs
Unfortunately I am getting a lot more experience with this bug. I think the following points summarize the factors the combine to produce this bug: 1. the network share must reside on a Windows file server (or maybe another non-Unix-type file system). 2. the network file sharing protocol is cifs (and/or sshfs according to other related bugs). 3. the Linux clients run gedit, Geany, Vim, Eclipse or any other Linux app that attempts to move/rename an open file. And in Ubuntu Hardy, smbfs also seems to cause the same problem that cifs does. I think the prior comments make it clear that the gedit devs don't plan to fix this bug. Neither do the cifs devs. So anyone waiting for the devs to get around to fixing it may have a long wait. (Also, if you read the above comments you'll see that at least one patch has been submitted but it isn't favored by the devs.) -- 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

I think forking gedit is a little overboard. I am sure that a simple patch is all that is needed, and could be provided for those of us who need a resolution before the gedit dev's get around to fixing this. I even think that a gedit plugin could probably be written to provide the same functionality.
