Ok, to add to my last report. (I ran the same tests from a Centos4.4 box)
I logged into my centos 4.4 (KDE X desktop) , installed openoffice (version
1.1.5 - it's the default for this version) I used this box to then accessed the
samba server that was in user settings (ie a password is required for each
user), a popup box asked for my password and username (as expected) before
allowing me to open the word doc on the screen.
I did not get any warnings about smb being only partially supported (as
reported by Kubuntu, 6.6, 6.10 and 7 - so is this pointing to a Kubuntu
issue?), I edit and saved to doc with the usual warnings about saving word and
not odt format. Now here comes the strange thing, after saving - nothing
happened- no reports of any kind, that is until I *went to exit openoffice* -
I was asked if I would like to --- 'upload the changed document--- (the service
was KIOexec) It appears that I had been working on a local copy (there was no
hint or warning that I was) The KIO exec process was about to upload the
changed doc back to the server. And yes after uploading it did save it just
fine, I checked and sure enough the changes had taken place, albeit having to
upload is a very clunky mechanism.
To add, KDE uses a service called KIOexec that 'works' fine in KDE, in
CCentOS 4.4 and OO 1.1.5 (if asking for permission to upload can be
called fine) This may mean that something is awry in Kubuntu. SusE10 is
installing as I post this, will let you know soon how it goes.
