Dear all
suddenly I'm getting this error whenever I try to edit a text file and
click save button
" Could not create a backup file while saving /path/to/file.txt"
gedit could not backup the old copy of the file before saving the new
one.You can ignore this warning and save the file anyway.
but if an error occurs while saving , you could lose the old copy of the
file. Save anyway ?"
yesterday, everything was ok.. and this morning I'm getting this
whats wrong with gedit ?? can anyone help me ?
The most likely causes of this error would be:
- permissions
- path to dest directory doesn't exist at some point, or
permission denied at some point.
- quota
- filesystem has been mounted/remounted ro (due, for example
to an i/o error)
if you can 'ls -l /path/to/file.txt' and the dest file actually exists, see what
are the permissions of the file. perhaps it cannot be opened for write (to
re-write it with the new contents).
See if the dest directory exists, and make sure you have write access to it.
touch /path/to/file.txt.foo
rm /path/to/file.txt.foo
check your quota
quota
check if the partition that the dest file lives in is mounted r/o
mount -v
Hope that helps,
