Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 96740
Unusable with documents on Samba share
Last modified: 2014-02-11 20:52:17 UTC
I was having a problem where my files were being corrupted when using files on a Samba share using OpenOffice Writer 2.4.1 on an Ubuntu 8.10 machine against an Ubuntu 8.04 server running Samba Version 3.028. Everything works perfectly outside of OO - for instance, Nautilus works perfectly I decided to upgrade to OpenOffice 3.0, but now having more issues. The only way I can get to my network drives is to type in smb://myserver/myshare/myfiles in the OO file open dialog - but when I do, OO closes the window and shuts down - no error message. I can open a document from Nautilus - if I click on the file and say open with OO Writer - but it's very slow and I can't just click on Save because it is grayed out - it will only allow me to click on Save As. However, when I do that, it just hangs.
Framework issue.
