The above occur with 2.x builds of openoffice, but I'm getting the same issue with 3.2 when trying to open smb:// URLs directly with openoffice (splash-screen shows but no nothing else happens, using the command "openoffice.org smb://u...@server/file.ppt").
A solution is given in the openoffice forums (http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=57204), but I presume openoffice _is_ meant to handle smb:// URLs? ~> dpkg -l openoffice.org openoffice.org-kde Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============================-==============================-============================================================================ ii openoffice.org 1:3.2.1-3 office productivity suite ii openoffice.org-kde 1:3.2.1-3 office productivity suite -- KDE integration -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
