Subject: Cannot edit existing password using vim (or gvim)<br>
Message-ID:<br>
<<a href="mailto:CAHPvVMY1K99_zeGw3NmbSL1YLDPX53WsnxhdTKN_H%2B4PyhnEfA@mail.gmail.com">CAHPvVMY1K99_<wbr>zeGw3NmbSL1YLDPX53WsnxhdTKN_H+<wbr>4PyhnEfA@mail.gmail.com</a>><br>

<br>
When I try to edit an existing password using vim, when it comes time to<br>
save (I enter :w as a vim command) I get a message<br>
"/dev/shm/pass.tQVSIzXmX17hI/<wbr>McsB5-test-pass.txt" E212: Cannot open file<br>
for writing<br>
<br>
<br>
"/dev/shm/pass.BrDRETCxY0V0s/<wbr>DlvET-visa...3603.txt" E212: Cannot open file<br>
for writing".<br>
<br>
I'm sure I used to be able to edit passwords, but I can't work out why I<br>
can't save to /dev/shm. Does anybody have any ideas?<br>
<br>
Steps to recreate:<br>
<br>
1) pass add test-pass (followed by entering the password twice)<br>
2) pass show test-pass N.B. works fine and displays password from previous<br>
step<br>
3) pass edit test-pass<br>
<br>
opens instance of gvim, so I make a change and :w and I get the error<br>
message above.<br>
<br>
<br>
Notes:<br>
<br>
<br>
1. mount | grep "shm" gives<br>
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)<br>
2. df -h | grep shm gives<br>
tmpfs 3.8G 152M 3.7G 4% /dev/shm i.e. we're not out<br>
of temp disk space<br>
3. crontab -e works, so saving to a temporary file seems to work<br>
4. with EDITOR set to nano, it seems to work<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
A<br>

Most likely permissions. Try: ls -ld /dev/shm<br>
