Ubuntu :: Sshfs + Gedit Can't Save File?
Nov 18, 2010
I mounted a remote directory using sshfs and I can't save files using gedit, while saving same file using vi works. Changin permission to o-r (640) allows gedit to save files OK. Is there a way to change sshfs connection to make gedit work without chmodding every file? (I use -o uid=`id -u` -o gid=`id -g`, so that remote files seem to be owned by me)
Code:
$ touch test.txt
[!] test.txt appears
$ vi test.txt
[!] :wq -> saves just FINE
[Code]...

I just updated to 10.04 from 9.10 and suddenly gedit is saying I don't have permission to save files in an sshfs-mounted directory. Nothing I've found through Google works.
* I'm mounting using `sshfs james@of1-dev-james:/home/james/projects $HOME/projects`
* `fuse` is listed in /etc/modules
* I'm a member of the `fuse` group
* Using `newgrp fuse` before mounting stops gedit from seeing the mounted directory at all.
* /dev/fuse belongs to `root:fuse` and has `crw-rw-rw-` permission.
* Other apps e.g. `nano` have no problem reading/writing to this directory.

I have a line in the fstab file which automatically mounts a network drive every time I start up Ubuntu. I browse to a text file on the network drive and open it using gEdit and make changes to it. Then, when I hit the save button, a bright red warning appears:
Could not save the file [path here] gedit cannot handle file: locations in write mode. check that you typed the location correctly and try again. This also happens if I do save as. Then, after this error appears, the file actually disappears (gets deleted) from the network drive and in order to save it, I have to select save as again and type in the original filename. The line in my fstab file is:
//files.example.com/username /media/Network-Drive cifs uid=myname,umask=000,credentials=[cred file here],domain=mydomain 0 0
I'm not sure if this has something to do with the file permissions or gEdit itself or using cifs to mount. When I use the "ls -l" command on the file, I get
-rwxr-xr-x 1 myname root 7402 2010-06-28 01:14 textfile.do
which should be fine since the user has all permissions.

When scrolling down in nano with keyboard (holding "down" key), nano scrolls several lines at once each time. Is there any possibility to configure it so it will scroll one line each time like gedit does when scrolling in gedit?

Ok, so I'm trying to do this: [URL]
The problem is, when I get to the part where I have to open the file in gedit, it says it can't open it, file not found, or something or other..So, when I manually browse to the directory '.local/share/..' there is no folder named 'applications,' only a text file. When I open it, it appears to be the home launcher file, but its in the wrong place and has the wrong name. What's going on? Shouldn't there be a folder there with my applications in it?

I typed in a text file (Feb.txt) at work using the basic Microsoft Notepad text editor and emailed it home. When I tried to open it from the email using the default gedit I got an error message - Could not open the file /tmp/Feb.txt gedit has not been able to detect the character encoding. check that you are not trying to open a binary file. Select a character encoding from the menu and try again.The character encoding is set to 'automatically detected'.
How come it can't detect the encoding? I had to manually set the encoding to Western(ISO 8599-15) to load it. I can't remember this happening in the past, and it was OK loading one I sent earlier (Jan.txt) which presumably had the same encoding, as it was written in the same way.

I've noticed that for files longer than about 8000 lines that gedit has problems opening the file. Was gedit not designed for long files or is there another problem? The same thing also happens on complicated html files. So I hope there is a way to fix this.

I connect with ssh to an Ubuntu server to edit some files in /var/www witch I have set the setgid bit:
# sudo chgrp -R www-data /var/www
# sudo chmod -R 770 /var/www
# sudo chmod -R g+s /var/www
I have added the user "user" to www-data group. Now I connect using ssh as user "user" to my server with nautilus. When I copy files using nautilus file get the group permission 'www-data' as they should. But if I edit a file using Gedit and save it, the file's group get changed to "user" group ?

Using the latest version of Ubuntu desktop on an emachine t5062 if it matters. I have a text file of keywords that is one-three words line after line for like 5000 lines. How would I go about adding a word to each line.Aside from typing it in or copying and pasting.If it can`t be done with Gedit I am all for using another program.

Is there anyway to force gedit to be aware of changes made to file permissions? The thing is, sometimes I open a readonly file and I just go back to the terminal and set write permissions on that file, but I have to close and open the file again so that gedit saves it. Is there anyway we can make gedit aware of changes to file permissions?

I know GEdit has a bug which prevents it from opening a file with null () characters in it. This is a huge inconvenience for me because I frequently have to open big log files with only a couple rogue 's in them.
Sometimes I just run a quick tr -d '' < file.log > file.log.correct and open the correct file. This is a big nuisance. I would like to have maybe an external tool in GEdit that would execute the above command. I tried writing an external tool action (GEdit plugin) using just:
#!/bin/bash
tr -d ''
Input is "current document", output action is "replace current document". But this isn't working. When I open the file, GEdit shows the familiar red warning; activating the external tool with the warning showing apparently has no effect (I think the script is being called but its input/output are not set).
