Hi :) I have tried a different file-browser and still same problems. Other types of files that are on the network opened fine so it's only when trying to open them in LibreOffice that there is a problem. A different machine with Ubuntu on it opens the same files just fine so it's something between Kubuntu and LibreOffice.
Things i have not tried yet is installing the untweaked version of LO directly from the official website. I have tried the one in the default repos and the one in the ppa. Also Steve Edmonds gave me some links to the archives and i've not worked through any of those yet. So, still got some things to try but wondering if anyone has a quick&easy fix Regards from Tom :) On 28 August 2014 23:10, Steve Edmonds <steve.edmo...@ptglobal.com> wrote: > Hi. > Old debian will be samba most likely. > I think samba had some issue with LO.
