Public bug reported: Consider you want to annotate some PDF files on a file system mounted somewhere in /mnt. So you would open the file, do your annotations and save the file. Nope, you can't overwrite the file, you must save your PDF as a new one.
Evince (46.0-1build-1) let your know why: The file could not be saved as "file://img/path...". Error renaming temporary file: Permission denied = Steps to reproduce on fresh Ubuntu 24.04: ================ * Create some fs, mount it, download some PDF. Can be skiped: $ truncate --size=100M myfs.img $ sudo mkfs.ext4 myfs.img $ sudo mkdir /mnt/some_dir $ sudo mount -o loop myfs.img $ cd /mnt/some_dir $ sudo chown $USER:$USER . $ wget https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d3/Test.pdf $ evince Test.pdf * Try to save the file now, press ctrl+s, file chooser dialog opens and you get lot of warnings in terminal: (evince:62394): GVFS-WARNING **: 10:20:45.777: The peer-to-peer connection failed: Error while getting peer-to-peer dbus connection: Could not connect: Permission denied.
