This bug was originally for me: Lucid Impress crashes when opening a file located on a Samba smbfs mount Bug #586438 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/586438
I removed the nobrl option from my mount commands I logged off all mounts / logged back on I can open files on the Samba server successfully, I can SaveAs creating new copies of files, and I can successfully open the new copies. I think this one is confirmed fixed with 10.04 Lucid and LibraOffice installed via the instructions in #18 -- 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/486443 Title: [upstream] Can not save files to NAS cifs - needs nobrl or disable locking Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: Incomplete Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite: Confirmed Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in “libreoffice” source package in Lucid: New Status in “openoffice.org” source package in Lucid: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: openoffice.org Ubuntu Karmic - recent upgrade from Jaunty - also moved from Gnome to KDE Open Office under KDE can't save files to my Maxtor NAS drive. If I navigate to a file, all the folder names are displayed as numbers rather than letters. If I try to create a new file on the the NAS drive, an empty file is created, and then Open Office displays a General IO error. OpenOffice continues to work correctly if I switch the desktop to Gnome -- A little more info - in the cases described above, I was connecting to the NAS using the "Network / Samba Shares" option in the Open Office file manager. I also have the files system mounted using the following entry in fstab /MAXTOR/GREENOCK /media/network/greenock cifs credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0 If I access the files via the mount point, I can update an existing file, but "SaveAs" gives a General Input/Ouput error, and creates an empty file with the correct name -- ccheney - note This appears to be an issue with kernel cifs mounting possibly with mand option, versus when using gnome and gvfs-fuse which does not use regular cifs method to access files. This does not appear to be KDE specific. Try using the cifs nobrl option to see if this helps. -- ProblemType: Bug Architecture: amd64 Date: Sat Nov 21 21:44:02 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 Package: openoffice.org-core 1:3.1.1-5ubuntu1 [modified: var/lib/openoffice/basis3.1/program/services.rdb] ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE= PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-14.48-generic SourcePackage: openoffice.org Uname: Linux 2.6.31-14-generic x86_64 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/df-libreoffice/+bug/486443/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
