Subject: saveplace prevent me from quitting if ~/.emacs-places is write-protected
Date: Tue, 04 Mar 2003 18:30:22 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <plfznobujip.fsf@st.com> (raw)
This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.
Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.
In GNU Emacs 21.2.2 (sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1, X toolkit)
of 2002-08-05 on crx968
configured using `configure --prefix=/var/tmp/bgm'

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
I have saveplace enabled, and I launched Emacs from another account
than mine, so, no permission on ~/.emacs-place.
C-x C-c to quit, it asks me if I want to save ~/.emacs-place anyway,
because it's write protected. I say no, and get this error message
« basic-save-buffer-2: Attempt to save to a file which you aren't
allowed to write »
Which I understand, but the problem is that it prevents me from
quitting !!
