Epiphany-browser bookmarks deleted when disk space runs out

[Dana Olson]

Binary package hint: epiphany-browser

I was using my PC, and was downloading a file. My disk space ran out, and so I closed my browser, deleted some old files and freed up a GB. When I restarted Epiphany, the bookmarks were gone.

I tried importing ~/.gnome2/epiphany/bookmarks.rdf, but none of my bookmarks came back.

I am using Ubuntu Dapper 6.06 LTS with the latest security updates.

Is there any content still in ~/.gnome2/epiphany/bookmarks.rdf?

Additionally: what output do you get in the terminal, if you start epiphany from there?

[Dana Olson (adolson)]

No, there was nothing in the file.

Luckily I had sent an older backup to my work place which I was able to
get today.

[Dana Olson (adolson)]

Daniel, there was nothing in the terminal output..

I did notice that there was an update for Epiphany, but I don't think I had it running during the update, I think this happened after... But I never noticed the ephy-bookmarks.xml file in there before. Either way, both files were 0 bytes, as well as the 'backup' files ephy-bookmarks.xml.backup-LmhzJl.xml and bookmarks.rdf.backup-w5Qamk.rdf

That's known upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=300401

A part of the issue is due to firefox according to them

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

could you try if that's still an issue in jaunty or karmic version?
