I'm transitioning from Windows to Linux, and I'm having a problem with
OOo and the KDE desktop on Debian.
Konqueror will show files on networked file systems (via Samba), but it
prepends a "smb:" to the file name. So if the file I'm interested in is
alice.odp on the kramden share or ralph, then Konqueror shows it as
smb://ralph/kramden/alice.odp.
OOo, unfortunately, doesn't like this. When I try opening a file with a
name in this format I get an error: "Nonexistent object. Nonexistent file.".
I can mount the file system manually, so that the file appears as
/ralph/kramden/alice.odp, in which case everything just goes swimmingly
-- but Debian is giving me fits with trying to make this automatic, and
besides, this means that every time I change the shares around on a
Windows machine I have to change things around in Debian.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
