[Bug 15451] Re: Kubuntu / KDE SMB network error using openoffice word docs

[Anastasios Hatzis]

I confirm this bug on Kubuntu 6.10 (Edgy/32-bit) with latest OpenOffice
package 2.0.4-0ubuntu5 I could find.

Reproducable use-case A:
Start OpenOffice Writer
File -> Open
cd to Samba Shares, Windows network, select server, directory, and then select a .doc or .odt file
click OK
Error message pops up:
Protocol "smb" is supported only partially. Local copy of the file will be created.

The document is open, but is located in /tmp/kde-$USERNAME/


Reproducable use-case B: (as already described by others here)
OpenOffice Writer is not running yet!
Start Konqueror
cd to Samba Shares, Windows network, select server, directory, and then select a .doc or .odt file
OOo splash screen pops up and disappears after a while
No OOo came up, no document shown, no error message shown.


This error prevents me from working reasonably with OOo in the office. I have always to take care to move the files from the temp directory to the original samba directory and vice versa, all in the correct versions and so on... this costs time and is error-prone... that's not really funny. I wonder why this error is still "unconfirmed" since it seems to be that this bug is pretty old.
