GNS3 0.6 not saving configurations on Jaunty

Do you have permission to write on the GNS archives directory ?
Do you have some Errors ? Can you paste it here plz, it will be helpful =)

I've checked permissions all it is ok.
First time I create a project I can save it, but, next times I've tried to save or save .net file with another name it is impossible.
Sorry, but I cannot see any error or log in the system neither the application.
The problem it is easy to reproduce.
1.- Open GNS and create a new project
2.- Try to save with another name or after modify the project, ie putting a new router (no config in the router or anything more necessary to reproduce, at least for me)

I have tried to download GNS3 from Debian package repository (http://packages.debian.org/sid/gns3), I have exactly the same problem, it seems a problem in another place, not it the package. Maybe Python????

Solved !!!

I've found a way to make work GNS3. For any reason I need to open GNS3 indicating the file .net doing something like this:

gns3 /path .../file.net

If I open gns3 and next try to open my .net file using File -> Open it doesn't work.

Hi,

In the openFile method in Workspace class (/var/lib/python-support/python2.x/GNS3/Workspace.py/Workspace.py module), you'll find the following code:
================
        if path != None:
            try:
---> if str(selected) == 'NET file (*.net)':
                    # here the loading
                    self.projectWorkdir = None
                    self.projectConfigs = None
                    self.projectFile = None
                    self.load_netfile(path)
                    globals.GApp.topology.changed = False
            except IOError, (errno, strerror):
                QtGui.QMessageBox.critical(self, 'Open', u'Open: ' + strerror)
================

The condition in the if statement seems that isn't true in any case so the "load_netfile" method never gets called and the file isn't loaded. A workaround for this problem is just to comment out the if statement line and the file opening won't fail.

I guess that the condition was written to prevent opening a file that hasn't a '.net' extension. However maybe that part of the code isn't currently working because of a change in the file selection dialog in the QT library.

Hi,

if you run GNS3 in root mode, with sudo, it's work correctly. Maybe is permissions problem in the module.

I can confirm what ArielCosta said!

Running the GNS3 as a root solved the problem [which I consider a temp solution]. I guess the problem has to do with permissions like he rightly high-lighted
