Re: [libreoffice-users] Libreoffice on Linux does not see network shares
Hi :) It is not just Xubuntu. I have it on Kubuntu too. Franco mentioned having it on Peppermint (another Ubuntu clone and so definitely in the Debian family too). Then Mark Stanton said Fedora had the same issue. I thought Fedora was Redhat family but looking at DistroWatch it seems to be claiming to be independent of the 4-8 main families. Franco also said that going back to the 4.0.x branch seemed to fix the problem for him. I've not tried that yet. James Knott's answer about using the native-LO dialogues rather than the default dialogues from the DE of whichever distro seems to be getting me somewhere too. However none of this is relevant to the o.p.s question. It is more relevant to my thread of last week, which i still haven't worked through! Can anyone having this problem please try to post straces and such to the existing bug-reports? That might help the devs fix it more quickly. LO version numbers and OS affected might also help.

[libreoffice-users] Libreoffice on Linux does not see network shares
LO 4.2 and 4.3 series on Opensuse 13.1 and Xubuntu 12.04 I am presently attempting to move some users from XP to Linux on our peer-to-peer network, but have hit a problem with Libreoffice and access to files on other networked machines. When using LO on Windows XP, the file-open dialogue shows a 'Network places' icon and users can access files on other machines without a problem. I am trying to ensure that they get an equivalent experience when using LO on Linux. However, the file-open dialogues of LO on the different Linux distributions I've tried do not show network shares on either Windows machines or Linux machines running Samba, and so users do not have the same experience that they have been used to on Windows XP. If I use the Kate text editor, which does provide a network icon in the file-open dialogue, there's no problem accessing files on the same shares. I know that if we access the files on the network shares using dolphin/nautilus, then subsequently that network location appears in the LO file-open dialogue. However, I'd rather not require our users to do that before they can use the wordprocessing facilities; I simply want the same file-open dialogue on Linux LO that they had on Windows XP LO and MS Office. Is this possible?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Libreoffice on Linux does not see network shares
Hi :) I am having the same problems on some machines (well, 1 Kubuntu machine) but not on others (Ubuntu or Windows). There is an intermittent bug to do with this so it would be great if you and i could do straces and add them to the existing bug-reports. As a temporary work-around i first set the Kubuntu machine to use Calligra instead of LibreOffice. Now i'm trying to edit the; /etc/samba/smb.conf (after creating a copy/backup of it) on the server but so far i've not had any luck with that. Other people tried different versions of LibreOffice. What mystifies me is that on all the Ubuntu machines i double-click on any file anywhere on the network or on a client/local desktop and LibreOffice has no problems. Calligra does have nice features but i just don't like it as much as LibreOffice. So i am kinda hoping the bug gets fixed or that i stumble onto whatever the settings are that makes LO work on Ubuntu. Sorry this hasn't helped much! :( Try searching the archives here too as there were some good links posted last week on a thread i started.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Libreoffice on Linux does not see network shares
Hi :) I dunno why but i think i keep mis-reading the original question. Also i think there are a few different issues in the question. In all the distros i have tried you can bookmark folders, just as you can bookmark web-pages in a web-browser. However it's much easier to get to the bookmarked folders. In the file-browser you can have a side-panel (it's usually the default) that shows Places and the bookmarked folders appear in there. I used to always switch that side-panel to show tree so that it was like the explorer type view but normal users seemed to prefer the dumbed-down places (in Windows) instead even though they then grumble that it gets in the way and that it's a bit scary and confusing. In GnuLinux it seems to show useful stuff in a way that does make more sense to normal users. So nowadays i often keep the default Places view and just bookmark folders (or un-bookmark them when they stop being useful). When folders are files-shares on a remote machine, different desktop or file-server or something then the bookmarks don't appear until after that device has been mounted. So the next trick is to edit /etc/fstab (is that the right place for fstab?) to automatically mount such file-shares at boot-up. Errr, that is the next thing i am working on for our reception machine at work.
