Hi,
this is a well known problem affecting some releases of LibreOffice
(4.2.x) on some versions of *ubuntu.
You can see the files in the network shares but when you try to open
them nothing happens.
Same result trying to open them in the application, browsing in the
"open" windows to the share.
I personally verified this on Xubuntu 12.04 and Peppermint.
There are some workarounds, I tryed some of them without success , other
are a little bit hard to implement for dummies.
You can do some googling for them.
What I done was to completely remove the 4.2.x release, replacing it
with a safe 4.02.
Less functions, but it's working.
Bye,
Franco

LO 4.2 and 4.3 series on Opensuse 13.1 and Xubuntu 12.04
I am presently attempting to move some users from XP to Linux on our
peer-to-peer network, but have hit a problem with Libreoffice and
access to files on other networked machines.
When using LO on Windows XP, the file-open dialogue shows a 'Network
places' icon and users can access files on other machines without a
problem. I am trying to ensure that they get an equivalent experience
when using LO on Linux.
However, the file-open dialogues of LO on the different Linux
distributions I've tried do not show network shares on either Windows
machines or Linux machines running Samba, and so users do not have the
same experience that they have been used to on Windows XP. If I use
the Kate text editor, which does provide a network icon in the
file-open dialogue, there's no problem accessing files on the same
shares.
I know that if we access the files on the network shares using
dolphin/nautilus, then subsequently that network location appears in
the LO file-open dialogue. However, I'd rather not require our users
to do that before they can use the wordprocessing facilities; I simply
want the same file-open dialogue on Linux LO that they had on Windows
XP LO and MS Office.
Is this possible?
One thing I've noticed is the "Servers" drop down list (top right corner
of file open panel), where you can select Windows shares. I haven't
tried it, but that may do what you want.
