A temporary fix until the openoffice devs fixed this bug. Use cifs mounts to mount the share directly.
Add an line to /etc/fstab to mount the samba share directly and you will not experience the problems caused by using gvfs. Here's how: Add a line for each share you want to open to the /etc/fstab file Either like this: //192.168.44.100/share_name /path_to/mount_point cifs username=server_user,password=server_password,_netdev,uid=client_username,gid=users 0 0 or use a .cred file to store your password/username like I did because you do not want readable in /etc/fstab //192.168.44.100/share_name /path_to/mount_point cifs credentials=/path_to/.creds,_netdev,uid=client_username,gid=users 0 0 example of .cred file username=myusername password=mypassword chmod 600 .cred to make it only readable to the fileowner. more info here: http://www.swerdna.net.au/linhowtosambacifs.html -- [jaunty] Openoffice doesn't really use GVFS https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/247485 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
