Old version of gedit that installed by default in Ubuntu 18.04.3 clean install just done today allows saving a file or "save as" to any directory. Snap version of "Text Editor" which purports to be gedit version 3.32.0 can't save a file anywhere I've tried. The error is that I don't have permission even though I do have permission to Read AND Write files in the directories I've tried.
Thinking that there may have been conflict, I uninstalled "old gedit" via sudo apt remove gedit, then uninstalled and reinstalled "New gedit" aka "Text Editor" from the Ubuntu Software app. No improvement. FWIW if it's supposed to be gedit call it gedit. Look at VLC for an example of old version and new snap version both listed and installable in the Ubuntu Software store. Choose the version you want. It's a new VERSION with a new install source not a new App. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1300004 Title: gedit does not elevate privileges while it's being launched To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/1300004/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
