I'm having the same problem and it is currently making my life quite painful. After digging into the code here is a workaround until the problem is fixed properly: Get the source rpm, unpack the source, go into gedit/gedit-document-saver.c and comment out the if-block following the comment "copy the xattrs, like user.mime_type, over. Also ACLs and SELinux context." Then recompile gedit. This doesn't fix the actual problem but since I have no need for ACLs and SELinux that does the trick for now. I filed this upstream with additional information: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=477070 (short summary: the attr_copy_fd() call fails with an errno code of EPERM for no apparent reason) I wasn't having this problem in Fedora 8 until I completely disabled SELinux. (In reply to comment #4) > I wasn't having this problem in Fedora 8 until I completely disabled SELinux. In fact, as I mentioned in the upstream bug opened by Dennis J., it's the combination SELinux disabled & libattr installed that causes the problem with attr_copy_fd(). This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping |
