Bug Description
Ubuntu 12.10
Evince 3.6.0-0ubuntu2
NTFS drive with 755 and 644 permissions - fstab options include: uid=1000,
Whilst saving a copy of a PDF to the NTFS drive, and pressing the "Create folder" button, I can enter the name of the new folder but pressing return to create it gets the following error message:
"The folder could not be created
Error creating directory: Permission denied"
Dmesg reports:
type=1400 audit(137943107
The operation works with the same permissions on my ext4 /home/Documents folder.
There is no problem creating the folder on the NTFS drive from Nautilus, so the workaround is to create the folder first in Nautilus, then save from Evince.
We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.
Ubuntu 12.10 (quantal) reached end-of-life on May 16, 2014.
Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported when using a currently supported version of Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.
Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
