I was until recently using ubuntu studio quantal 64 bit (now using trusty) and I happened to run across this in the apparmor profile for evince: # evince creates a temporary stream file like '.goutputstream-XX' in the # directory a file is saved.

Same trouble here. Win7(Host) running VirtualBox 4.2.16 Linux Mint 14 Nadia Kernel 3.5.0-17-generic(i686) (Guest) Guest applications Geany(1.22), Pluma(1.4.0), and Gedit (2.30.4) cannot save to existing file. Must create new file for each save on the Vbox shared folder. Other local(guest) folders work fine. Did not start until Virtualbox updated to 4.2.16 no problems with setup before that. Attempting to save an existing file with modifications results in files with names like (.goutputstream-0ZD71W) etc. and warnings that the file may have been truncated. Two solutions I have found so far are: 1.) save-as a new file name each time I make a change. (terrible) 2.) open a terminal session in that folder and use nano or vi to edit text file. (no problems) So it seems that the drive mount for the shared folder is ok as nano can edit files, but the gui apps have an issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/984785 Title: .goutputstream files polluting $HOME To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/glib/+bug/984785/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I discovered how to reproduce the bug with Gedit and Firefox : - Create a text file, and save it with this encoding type : Occidental (ISO-8859-15) - Type several lines in it. Save it again. - Go to a web page with a certain encoding, UTF8 compatible, but not compatible with Occidental (ISO-8859-15). - Copy a few lines including, for instance, go-to-note, or (french) puce (you know, that sort of symbol you can put, instead of a number or a letter, at the beginning of a line or of a paragraph, when listing items). (Sorry for my rusty english and the lack of precision). -5) Then go back to your text file : paste the formerly copied lines from the web page, but NOT at the beginning. - Have a look at the clock on your pc, memorize the time. Try to save your file : you get normally an error message, pointing the different encoding types. (You could save the copied text if you created for it a new UTF8 encoded file. It is not necessary for this experience.) Here you are ! the new .goutputstream-XYZ123 file already exists, not empty. - Gedit, open file, and you can see, in the dialog box, your new .goutputstream-XYZ123 file, dated when you tried unsuccessfully to save your txt file. - If you open it, you'll find only the first Occidental (ISO-8859-15) lines of your file, but not the end : the saving stopped when encountering different encoding.

If the server cannot be contacted or if it does not support the SECURITY extension, the command fails. Otherwise, an authorization entry for the indicated display using the given protocol is added to the authorization file.

I get these a lot with ubuntu 12.10, though they aren't really a problem as I have a script run with crontab to delete them on boot `@reboot rm ~/.goutputstream-*` in `crontab -e`.

@rpr-nospam — thanks for the clarification. I am aware of the permissions ability, but it is further improved if the user uses encryption on his home folder.

[Bug 984785] Re: .goutputstream files polluting $HOME
As reported before, all the “.goutputstream-xx” files are temporary files that GLib uses in file write activities. However, these buffer files aren't deleted when an operation was cancelled. Currently, a fix was committed for this bug (see #104). Now, let's focus on the other part of the problem. On every session close, LightDM needs to clean ~/.Xauthority. According to #28, there can be lines in .Xauthority that shouldn't be erased, though the last line seems to stand for the current session and should be deleted when the session is closed. I don't know well how it works, but some process (most likely XAuth) is called to remove the last cookie of .Xauthority. It works fine when you only close your session, but when you shutdown from an open session, it looks like LightDM doesn't take time to close it properly before shutting the whole system down. o_O That results in a “.goutputstream-xx” containing all the ”permanent” cookies of .Xauthority. If you delete .Xauthority, these permanent cookies will disappear, so you will only get null-sized “.goutputstream-xx”... and a much lighter .Xauthority on next reboot. ;-) And it seems to cause no other problems, according to http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?pid=11588001#p11588001 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/984785 Title: .goutputstream files polluting $HOME To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/glib/+bug/984785/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 984785] Re: .goutputstream files polluting $HOME
These .goutputstream-xxx files get created everytime Ubuntu 12.04 shuts down or starts up. I tried to fresh install several Ubuntu 12.04 flavors on several laptops and desktops to check this behavior, and it happens with ALL distros based on Ubuntu (Kubuntu, Xubuntu, UbuntuStudio, Mint, etc.). I noticed that every time there is a file write activity, a temporary .goutputstream-xxx is created in the folder where this file write activity accours. Say i copy a file from ~/Downloads to ~/Documents, in the ~/Documents folder there is a temporary .goutputstream-xxx file created which gets automatically deleted when the copy action finishes. In the $HOME folder seems that these temporary .goutputstream-xxx files are not cleaned up when the Ubuntu system starts up or shuts down. I normally run a start up script that automatically deletes these .goutputstream-xxx files in my $HOME, but it would be better if the bug that causes this is fixed.

[Bug 984785] Re: .goutputstream files polluting $HOME
Here is how the .goutputstream files generated in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. It seems that these files are produced, because you use the desktop environment or may be due to applications that run along with when you use desktop environment. Follow the steps and you can reproduce the error. Using the desktop terminal: Desktop terminal can be accessed from the keyboard by typing Ctrl-Alt-F7 Using the CLI terminal: Command line terminal can be accessed from the keyboard by typing Ctrl-Alt-F1 1. Using the desktop terminal: a) Use this shell command: ls -ltra | grep goutput b) Note down the timestamp of the latest goutputstream file (That should be your bottom most file on the screen) c) Note down the timestamp of the computer d) shutdown and reboot, or restart the system e) Login f) Use this shell command: ls -ltra | grep goutput g) You should now see goutputstream file having the timestamp as like in step (b) 2. Using the CLI terminal: a) If you are using the desktop terminal, then you must logout from here. (To do this - simply press logout option available on the right top corner of system pane) b) Using your keyboard - Type in Ctrl-Alt-F1 c) Login with your user account d) Use this shell command: ls -ltra | grep goutput e) Note down the timestamp of the latest goutputstream file (That should be your bottom most file on the screen) f) Note down the timestamp of the computer (Just type in date on the screen to get the timestamp) h) either shutdown (type in sudo shutdown -h now -- you will be asked for a root password - so you should be a root user to operate on this command) and reboot (press the power button after the system was turned off), or restart the system (type in sudo shutdown -rv now -- you will be asked for a root password - so you should be a root user to operate on this command) i) Using your keyboard, type in Ctrl-Alt-F1 j) Use this shell command: ls -ltra | grep goutput k) Note down the timestamp of the latest goutputstream file (That should be your bottom most file on the screen) l) Now you should observe that there is no goutputstream file. (You can check the same, by using the desktop terminal - Ctrl-Alt-F7). I hope this helps the ubuntu developers to reproduce the bug and fix it. Post your comments for any related to the above.

[Bug 984785] Re: .goutputstream files polluting $HOME
Jimmy, the example was supposed to bring in another player which makes the mysterious file occur. In ~/ the file only occured on shutdown. Since I almost never shutdown except a new kernel or else asked me to I haven't seen the file in a while. True is that this file never got my attention on any Ubuntu until 12.04, but perhaps it was there all along and only ephemeral in /tmp or somewhere else since the manual says it's a base class for writing output. Seems it does some kind of file operation monitoring. http://stuff.mit.edu/afs/sipb/project/barnowl/share/gtk-doc/html/gio/GOutputStream.html#GOutputStream-struct Another reproducable test case shows that .goutputstream* is created in the target directory when a copy operation was terminated.

I also got this. Standard installation of Ubuntu 12.04. The file is indeed only created on shutdown. I logged in and out but the file wasn't there. Once I shut down my cumputer and started it again it was there. The timestamp matches exactly the shutdown time.

I am running Xubuntu 11.10 and lightdm 1.0.6-0ubuntu1.6 and no Unity- greeter.
