Unable to save preferences under Ubuntu 8.10 AMD64 (Intrepid)

OS: Debian / Ubuntu
I have Komodo Edit 4.4 working perfectly on this system. However 5.0 will not save preferences - although other than that seems to run fine. I have blown away .komodoedit but letting the app recreate the directory did not help.
Any ideas?

"Where can I find the Komodo files?" at

Also, there might be some personal info in that
file you'd prefer not to share (most likely
full path names). Feel free to edit it out --
I'm interested in any error messages and
tracebacks.
looks like we might have some relevant stuff in there...
ERROR: prefs:
-- EXCEPTION START --
+ 0 (string) pref.id is UNDEFINED, aPrefString = editSmartSoftCharacters
*
-- EXCEPTION END --
ERROR: prefs: pref.id is UNDEFINED, aPrefString = editSmartSoftCharacters
ERROR: prefs:
-- EXCEPTION START --
+ 0 (string) pref.id is UNDEFINED, aPrefString = editSmartSoftCharacters
*
-- EXCEPTION END --
I don't know if this is relevant but I also get some errors like -
/usr/lib/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
Failed to load module: /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so
/usr/lib/gio/modules/libgioremote-volume-monitor.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

/usr/lib/gio/modules/libgiogconf.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
Failed to load module: /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgiogconf.so
which also doesn't happen with Komodo 4.4.1
(thanks for the interest!)
The two problems are most likely unrelated.
Could you log a bug at
http://bugs.activestate.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Komodo
on the second problem?
As for the first problem, I'm puzzled, but would
suggest that you shut down Komodo, load your
prefs.xml file (in ~/.komodoedit/5.0/), and
remove any lines that refer to "editSmartSoftCharacters".
This deserves a bug as well.
I'm experiencing the exact same issue on XP, I am unable to save preferences after visiting the 'Smart Editing' category. There are very similar errors in my pystderr.log file. I've added a comment to Bug#80778. It's a bummer, because I want to enable soft characters.

I was able to enable soft characters by editing my ~/.komodoedit/5.0/prefs.xml and add the following line under the <preference-set > node.
<boolean id="editSmartSoftCharacters">1</boolean>
This was logged as the following bug:

There is also a workaround posted in the bug report, similar to what financialgeek has done above.
This bug should be fixed with the Komodo 5.0.1 release.
Cheers,

nice! totally fixed it.
as for the load module warnings I entered a bug
http://bugs.activestate.com/show_bug.cgi?id=80804
