I don't know how to reproduce it. I can only give more information. I didn't initially know how to use strace so I incorrectly tried to redirect strace's output to a file: strace -p 8144 > strace8144. That will (always I think) create a file of zero bytes. Later I learned how to use strace properly. Like strace -o strace8144 -p 8144. When I ran that proper command I got:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Desktop# strace -o strace8144 -p 8144 attach: ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, ...): Operation not permitted The original strace job that would have created the file strace8144 was not completed. Perhaps that is why this Operation not permitted was output when I tried it again using the proper command. When I quit the root shell, the "strace -p 8144 > strace8144" process was apparently still active, so I then killed it. strace8048, the file that the zero byte file was drawn above, was created or changed Sun 09 Mar 2008 01:26:14 PM PDT strace8144, the zero byte file, was created or changed Sun 09 Mar 2008 01:26:31 PM PDT ---- -- A zero byte file's icon may be overlaid upon the icon of another file on the Gnome Desktop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/200329 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
