GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 516429
umask ignored by nautilus
Last modified: 2021-06-18 15:32:19 UTC
Please describe the problem: If I create a file, or directory from the terminal, it is created with correct permissions. However, every time I try to create from Nautilus, the file is created with 755 permissions, no matter what umask says. The problem is from Nautilus only (I think), because with terminal, and other file managers (Konqueror, Thunar), they read and apply my umask conf. I also tried and rechecked the location of umask command (.bashrc, .bash_profile, and so on) with same results. Hope someone could fix it. Regards!! Steps to reproduce: 1. set umask a non-default values 2. create file or directory 3. permissions are always 755 for files and directories Actual results: Files and directories are created with default permissions (755) Expected results: Files and directories created applying my umask value Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: It happens in local or network filesystems.
Thanks for the bug report. It looks like this bug has already been reported (see bug #459734). Is there any difference between the problem you see and that described in bug 459734? Please feel free to report any further bugs you find.
Oh, I didn't notice that the bug 459734 was filed against gnome-commander and this one is about nautilus. So this bug is NOT a duplicate. Sorry for the confusion.
Hi!! Thanks for your answer. No, there is no difference between those bugs. This is for nautilus and the other is set under gnome-commander product (I don't know if it's big difference). I also set a comment in the other bug you mentioned. This bug is awful... makes nautilus unusable in enterprise enviroments... Hope it could be fixed. Thanks!!
Hey!! I post three seconds after you sorry...
Same problem here. This bug is very borring when using Gnome in production, it's simply impossible. I hope it will be fixed soon.
Interestingly the nautilus in Fedora 8 (nautilus-2.20.0-9.fc8.x86_64) doesn't have this problem. However the nautilus in Fedora 9 (nautilus-2.22.2-7.fc9.x86_64) does. FWIW gnomevfs-mkdir does the right thing on both Fedora 8 & 9.

Same problem here. Also affects creation of folders and creating templates.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version of Files (nautilus), then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
