I’ve been facing a similar issue. For me the problem was that the
encoding of the file had changed since it was last opened with Gedit
(from WINDOWS-1252 to UTF-8). As I had manually set the encoding when
first opening the file, Gedit had saved this information and tried to
reuse it the next time I opened the file after the encoding change; this
resulted in said error message.
To fix the problem, I had to remove the saved encoding information from
the gvfs metadata like so:
gvfs-set-attribute --type unset MY_FILE.txt 'metadata::gedit-
encoding'
I have posted more information on this at
