I setup a watch on the dconf directory, and can confirm the rename happens just as in your error log message when I use dconf:
andreas@nsnx:~$ inotifywait -m /home/andreas/.config/dconf/ Setting up watches. Watches established. (run in another terminal: dconf write /org/gnome/rhythmbox/player/volume 1.0) /home/andreas/.config/dconf/ OPEN user /home/andreas/.config/dconf/ CREATE user.3S6GHZ /home/andreas/.config/dconf/ OPEN user.3S6GHZ /home/andreas/.config/dconf/ MODIFY user.3S6GHZ /home/andreas/.config/dconf/ CLOSE_WRITE,CLOSE user.3S6GHZ /home/andreas/.config/dconf/ MOVED_FROM user.3S6GHZ /home/andreas/.config/dconf/ MOVED_TO user /home/andreas/.config/dconf/ CLOSE_NOWRITE,CLOSE user I'm about to try that on a cifs mount. I also checked the documentation for rename(2) (the system call that g_rename() is a wrapper for, see https://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/glib-File- Utilities.html#g-rename), and there is a scenario where it would fail due to the filesystem not allowing it: EPERM or EACCES (...) ; or the filesystem containing pathname does not support renaming of the type requested. I cooked up a quick C rename.c program but it worked just fine in my cifs mount, so the investigation continues. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1764778 Title: Problems with SSSD + pam mount To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libpam-mount/+bug/1764778/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
