Maverick Meerkat is here, and thus far, seems great. However, one issue came up that initially caused a great deal of confusion that later transitioned into a large headache. That issue was that my current favorite editor for coding, Geany, was having issues saving remote files. Whenever I attempted to save a file that I was editing on a remote server, the file would come up blank.

After researching the issue for a while, I finally found the solution in the bug reports. I figured I’d share the solution here to hopefully help anyone else who might have run into this.

To fix the issue, simple open the file ~/.config/geany/geany.conf” and change the value of ‘use_safe_file_saving’ to true.

…and that’s it! Quick and painless. Now, you should have no issues in saving files to he remote server in Ubuntu 10.10 with Geany
