I can't save the file in gedit

Try this

sudo chown -R yourusername /home

to change the ownership of your entire home folder.

I assumed you must have created the directory since staring this thread - if not, then I do not understand the output from both commands. Try this:

whoami
ls -ld /home/samlabs821
ls -l /home/samlabs821
ls -ld /home/samlabs821/Desktop
ls -l /home/samlabs821/Desktop
echo "Some text" > /home/samlabs821/Desktop/temp.txt

the file is created and saved...

then i opened with gedit, and the same story, the save button is disabled ((

Try this

sudo chown -R yourusername /home

to change the ownership of your entire home folder.

sudo chown -R samlabs821 /home
[sudo] password for samlabs821: 
chown: cannot access `/home/samlabs821/.gvfs': Permission denied

Can you try to save again with gedit?

[samlabs821]

I found the solution!
try this:

gconftool-2 --toggle /desktop/gnome/lockdown/disable_save_to_disk

I have exactly the same problem but the solution above doesn't work for me
Is there any thoughts about some digging directions?

Please start a new thread. An old thread marked as solved won't attract much attention.
