I confirm that this is still an issue in Karmic and in Lucid alpha 2. Typically it occurs when multiple users want to edit a file and therefore make it -rw-rw-rw-. A usecase is a notes.txt that has to be editable from a Live-CD and your normal account.
To reproduce: 1 sudo touch /test.txt 2 sudo chmod a+rw /test.txt 3 gedit /test.txt # no sudo here! 4 Change and save test.txt => Error about not being able to save a backup even if backups are disabled in gedit preferences! -- "save anyway" dialog shows up when backup turn off https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/340862 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
