[Bug 341725] Re: Can't save changes in VirtualBox Shared Folder. Nano, OOo do it.

 

I agree that this is a general glib problem. Because in "Files", the
Ubuntu 14.04 file manager, I get a

"Error renaming temporary file: Operation not supported"

when I try to overwrite a file on my samba (cifs) share.

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gedit

  I can't edit files in VirtualBox Shared Folders:
  sudo mkdir /mnt/share
  sudo mount.vboxsf -o uid=1000,gid=1000 vs /mnt/share
  or
  sudo mount -t vboxsf vs /mnt/share -o rw,exec,uid=1000,gid=1000,dev
  $ echo blubb > /mnt/share/New
  it works

  $ ls -l /mnt/share
  $ -rw-rw-rw- 1 usr usr 31 2009-03-11 18:24 New
  $ gedit /mnt/share/New - can't save changes.
  (But nano, OpenOffice.org do it!)
  How to edit files in shared folders with gedit?

  
  But, L try now, gedit can save into file without caps letters, for example, 
  $ gedit /mnt/share/New 
  edit and save as 'new ' - gedit do it
