This issue is still present with the current latest Libreoffice Snap version (24.2.2.2) both in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and in the 24.04 Beta.
SMB shares and other GVFS mounted network locations are not visible in the Open/Save file window. If I try to manually navigate to the files under `/run/user/<UID>/gvfs/` I'm getting a 'Permission denied' error. If I open the file directly from Nautilus using right-click 'Open With', instead I get the attached error. ** Attachment added: "Screenshot from 2024-04-22 15-34-32.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1944746/+attachment/5769396/+files/Screenshot%20from%202024-04-22%2015-34-32.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1944746 Title: LibreOffice from Ubuntu Store/snaps broken GNOME integration for remote smb shares Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: 1) lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 21.04 Release: 21.04 2) Name Version Rev Tracking Publisher Notes snap list | grep libreoffice libreoffice 7.2.1.2 235 latest/edge canonical* - apt-cache policy gnome-shell gnome-shell: Installed: 3.38.4-1ubuntu3~21.04.1 Candidate: 3.38.4-1ubuntu3~21.04.1 Version table: *** 3.38.4-1ubuntu3~21.04.1 500 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hirsute-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3.38.4-1ubuntu2 500 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hirsute/main amd64 Packages 3) What I expected to happen is using any version of LibreOffice snaps from Ubuntu Software app (i.e. https://snapcraft.io/libreoffice ) works as it does as if I used the default install of libreoffice. Specifically, when I open the GNOME Files program via the icon on the bar on the left, I have an smb share already added via "Other Locations". When I use the default libreoffice install version as per below, when I attempt to open a file in Libreoffice Calc, the share is visible and I'm able to open files, edit, save, close, etc.: apt-cache policy libreoffice libreoffice: Installed: (none) Candidate: 1:7.1.6-0ubuntu0.21.04.1 Version table: 1:7.1.6-0ubuntu0.21.04.1 500 (phased 70%) 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hirsute-updates/universe amd64 Packages 1:7.1.2~rc2-0ubuntu2 500 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hirsute/universe amd64 Packages 4) However, when I completely remove all things libreoffice-* via command line, then install the snap version, the smb share is not visible. It's confirmed all packages associated with default install are removed, and only the snap is installed. I've tried completely removing each snap and trying a different version (e.g. stable, candidate, edge) but it's the same problem. I'm guessing it's something borked with the libreoffice-gnome integration between the snap and the GNOME environment but that's a wild guess. I tried the snap package as the default install Draw kept crashing opening a particular file, and was hoping to work around it by installing later snap version. WORKAROUND: Use default install of LibreOffice.
