can't save changes

[slowreader]

Folks -- this is strange. I've been using TiddlyWiki for several
months, and like it a lot. I upgraded to ubuntu 9.10 and -- probably
a coincidence -- now I can't save changes. I get this message:
It's not possible to save changes. Possible reasons include:
- your browser doesn't support saving (Firefox, Internet Explorer,
Safari and Opera all work if properly configured)
- the pathname to your TiddlyWiki file contains illegal characters
- the TiddlyWiki HTML file has been moved or renamed

Yet my browser hasn't changed (neither firefox nor epiphany will
save), the path names haven't changed (and don't have illegal
characters), and the file name hasn't changed either.

I've tried opening and saving backups, too: opening is fine, saving
doesn't work.

So ... any ideas? Or any work-around that would let me copy text to a
fresh download of TiddlyWiki?

Thanks for thinking about this.

If the only thing that has changed is the OS, I would suspect that
something has happened to your rights. If you look at the file what
are its owner/group/user rights? Are you still the owner? Can you edit
the file manually through a text editor?

Thanks for your time, Mark S --
but the permissions seem ok (-rw- r-- r--) and I can edit and save
with gedit.
I can also save a changed file using firefox and epiphany's "save as"
functions.

I just can't save from within TiddlyWiki (even from the copy I can
make using a browser's "save as").
The version I've been using is 2.5.3. It occured to me that I ought
to check the most recent one, so I've just gotten 2.6.0.

I can't save in that either: I opened empty.html, added a tiddler,
then tried to save. It refused (with the same message).

Any other ideas? I have to admit that I'm stumped.

OK -- I've dug further. I went to a dual boot (WinXP and ubuntu 9.10)
desktop. I downloaded TikiWiki 2.6.0 into both partitions. Under
WinXP, it worked as advertised (after I convinced IE (8.0.6001.18702)
and firefox (3.0.18) that it was ok to let empty.html run java).
Under ubuntu, no luck: I couldn't save changes with firefox (3.5.2)
or epiphany (Web Browser 2.28.0).
After pulling out some of my hair, I upgraded firefox to 3.5.8. Now I
can save changes, but it will NOT remember that I've said it's ok:
Every time I change and try to save I get the "A script from 'file://'
is requesting enhanced abilities that are UNSAFE ..." message, and
telling it to remember doesn't make it so.
Still -- I can live with that.

Thanks for considering my problem.

I've got a similar problem, I've Ubuntu 9.10, with TW 2.6 & Firefox
3.5.8 running both in a VM 3.01 under Windows 7 and the host Windows
7. I've made the changes recommended by the privileges plugin in both
environments. When I click save the first time I get the do you want
to proceed prompt, after I accept TW won't save with the message
'Failed to save main TiddlyWiki file. Your changes have not been
saved'. This is the same in both.

Hi

I'm using Ubuntu Remix (=9.10) on three different boxes with Firefox
3.5.9 - and local saving works fine..
If you has done this:

> > > > I can also save a changed file usingfirefoxand epiphany's "save as" functions.

somewhere in the process - and this has become your "original" you
might have a corrupted tw-file, which you can't save with the normal
TW-save functions.. Never use the browsers "save as" functions...
