Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: libreoffice
When trying to work on a samba share mounted via gvfs-mount the Open-
File dialogue of libreoffice does not work. (System Ubuntu 11.04, natty)
To reproduce:
1) mount a samba share with the gvfs-mount command (example: "gvfs-mount
smb://myserver/myshare")
2) open libreoffice writer (or calc, or whatever)
3) go to the menu -> file -> open
4) now go the the share mounted via gvfs
5) try to open any odt/ods/... file
6) nothing will happen
Next try:
1) open nautilus
2) open the mounted share
3) click any odt/ods/... file to open it
4) libreoffice will open and you can try to modify the file (thus, this
way you actually CAN open opendocument files stored on a samba share)
5) try to save your changes
6) error dialogue pops up
Thus:
Libreoffice is not usable in an work environment where windows and ubuntu
computers work on folders shared by samba. (By the way: windows pcs work fine
with the shares)
I tested the behaviour on five pcs, all installed with ubuntu 11.04
(natty). All showed the same error.
The only workaround was to install/configure an nfs server for the linux
pcs. (Which is no workaround at all).
