Thank you for your bug report. The fileselector is from GTK, it should
have the same issue in other applications unless it's the apparmor
profile blocking the access ... could you do
$ journalctl -f
try to create the directory and copy any warning or error printed in the
log?

Title:
When saving a copy save dialog cannot create directory on nfs share
Status in evince package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Hi,
i stumbled upon a weird oddity with evince...
# Steps creating the problem
1. I downloaded a pdf document from the internet using firefox.
2. Firefox offered to open the pdf in a document reader
3. Evince opened and displayed the pdf (correctly)
4. I used the hamburger menu and choose "Speichern unter" ("save as")
5. Filedialog opened. I navigated to an nfs mounted directory.
6. I ordered "Ordner anlegen" ("create folder") via the + symbol
7. I am prompted for the name of the new folder
8. It sais: "Der Ordner kann nicht angelegt werden -- Fehler beim ERstellen
des Ordners <...> Keine Berechtigung" ("The folder cannot be created - Error
creating the folder -- Not Authorized"
9. If I go to the terminal and mkdir the folder is created all right. (I
expected that the directory would be created -- if chmod is set correctly and
the shell can do it evince should also be able to do it...)
# More info
My `/etc/fstab` reads as follows:
```
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file sys> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
192.168.178.52:/home /nfs nfs noauto,user,exec 0 0
<...>
```
192.168.178.52 (nathan) uses the kernel-nfs-server and the following
`/etc/exports`-file:
```
# /etc/exports: the access control list for filesystems which may be exported
# to NFS clients. See exports(5).
#
# Example for NFSv2 and NFSv3:
# /srv/homes hostname1(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
hostname2(ro,sync,no_subtree_check)
#
# Example for NFSv4:
# /srv/nfs4 gss/krb5i(rw,sync,fsid=0,crossmnt,no_subtree_check)
# /srv/nfs4/homes gss/krb5i(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
#
# /etc/exports: the access control list for filesystems which may be exported
# to NFS clients. See exports(5).
#
/home/ *(rw,sync,insecure,no_root_squash)
<...>
```
Which is surely not too strict but rather to permissive... :o/
