Bug#474675: Also found in current testing with cifs

[Michael Ostermeier]

Package: gedit
Version: 3.4.2-1
thanks

Hi,

i’m facing a similar problem over cifs with testing. Saving a new file
with gedit works, but overwriting an existing file fails with a
no-permission-error-pop-up. The file however get renamed (added
»~«-suffix for backup) and the new version of the file gets saved as
».goutputstream-??????« where ›??????‹ are 6 random uppercase-letters.

With all other editors i tested, it worked (vim,
shell-output-redirection, nano, mousepad and even lowriter).

Unfortunately gedit does not offer a commandline-verbosity-flag
according to its manpage. It also doesn’t print any error-message on the
terminal. But if started as root, it prints the following warnings to
the terminal:

> # gedit test.txt 
> 
> (gedit:11100): EggSMClient-WARNING **: Failed to connect to the session
> manager: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication
> protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed
> 
> 
> ** (gedit:11100): WARNING **: Could not connect to session bus

I hope this helps.

Bye

Miche

PS: I faced this Bug while testing the cifs-protocol activated today by
the sysadmin at work on a Novell-Server. On the same server there was
never a problem over the Novell (nfs) protocol.
