It appears that this is a well known interaction between OOo 3.0 and Samba related to file locking. There appears to be a bug here for an earlier distribution and OOo 3.1 and also issues listed in the OOo forums and buglists. It can cause a crash on load or it can cause unspecific 'general IO errors' when trying to save an edited file. I had this happen with an HTML file which I was able to load then 'save as' but not save when changed.
Some of the workarounds suggested have been to reset some configuration scripts or disable file locking in the soffice script or to use the 'nounix' option in the CIFS mount or to regress to an smbfs mount. (I tried the script refresh and it didn't do the job so I am now in the process of testing the 'nounix' option) It does appear that mounting the share via 'Nautilus->places->network' may not express the problem. That mounts as "gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/username/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=username)" rather than "//server/share on /lan/server/share type cifs (rw,mand)" - I don't know that much about how the gvfs-fuse-daemon mounts things (yet) to understand how it's mounts of SMB shares differs from CIFS but that difference may yield some insight into this problem. (I might try some of thoe gvfs options in autofs as well, to see if I can find one that will make a difference) I'll see if I can get a backtrace - that process looks to be a pain but I understand the need; may take a while. In regard to the test indicated, I think the key is opening, editing, and saving an existing file rather than just creating a new one. It does appear to be a multi faceted issue and I don't think it is anything as simple as file specific. That makes it rather tough to track down. -- crashes opening network file, leaves lock file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/578402 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
