[SOLVED] How to make file read only and stay?
I'm using gnome 3 and want to make the recently used.xbel file (in .local/share) read-only/locked. I've tried making it read only and it just reverts to normal when something tries to write to it. How do I do this?

I read about that only working on ext2/3. Does it work with ext4? Any harm in trying it?
