Same trouble here. Win7(Host) running VirtualBox 4.2.16 Linux Mint 14 Nadia Kernel 3.5.0-17-generic(i686) (Guest)
Guest applications Geany(1.22), Pluma(1.4.0), and Gedit (2.30.4) cannot save to existing file. Must create new file for each save on the Vbox shared folder. Other local(guest) folders work fine. Did not start until Virtualbox updated to 4.2.16 no problems with setup before that. Attempting to save an existing file with modifications results in files with names like (.goutputstream-0ZD71W) etc. and warnings that the file may have been truncated. Two solutions I have found so far are: 1.) save-as a new file name each time I make a change. (terrible) 2.) open a terminal session in that folder and use nano or vi to edit text file. (no problems) So it seems that the drive "mount" for the shared folder is ok as nano can edit files, but the "gui apps" have an issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to glib2.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/984785 Title: .goutputstream files polluting $HOME Status in The "G" Library - GLib: Fix Released Status in Light Display Manager: Fix Released Status in X.Org X server: New Status in “glib2.0” package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “glib2.0” source package in Precise: Triaged Status in “lightdm” source package in Precise: Invalid Bug description: .goutputstream files polluting $HOME.
