We use 10.04 LTS and 11.04 and really hope too that this bug will get fixed - for all currently supported Ubuntu releases!
I confirm comment #10 that mounting the shares by cifs with nobrl does work. Try this: sudo apt-get install cifs-utils sudo nano /media/your_server.credentials # and add the following 2 lines: username=your_username_on_server password=your_password_on_server sudo chmod go-rwx /media/your_server.credentials sudo mkdir -p /media/your_server/your_share sudo nano /etc/fstab # and add all the following on ONE line: //server_url/your_share /media/your_server/your_share cifs ip=192.168.xxx.yyy,noexec,nounix,nobrl,uid=1000,gid=1000,file_mode=0644,dir_mode=0755,credentials=/media/your_server.credentials 0 0 I am not a cifs expert. So please leave a comment if your know better options! I think "ip=..." can be left out if "nslookup server_url" works in your LAN. Just make sure that you use "nobrl" - it's essential for this workaround. -- 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/792622 Title: [Upstream] Cannot "save as" and export as pdf to samba shares using Libreoffice Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: Confirmed Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: libreoffice I browse to a samba share using nautilus.
