This is an easily reproducible bug that appears to exist in OpenOffice 3.0 as it relates to samba.
I'm running OpenOffice.org 3.0.0 (OOO300m9, Build: 9358) on Ubuntu Release 8.10, Kernel Linux 2.6.27-8-generic, GNOME 2.24.1, samba version 2:3.2.3-1ubuntu3.1. I can further confirm that it can be reproduced over either a smb- connected device that is a native Windows (NTFS) share, and a native Debian (ext3) share. Does: 0) From the Ubuntu menu, Places/Connect to Server, create an smb: share. 1) From Nautilus or the Ubuntu menu, mount the smb share. 2) From Nautilus or OpenOffice, navigate to and then open a document OR create a new document in OpenOffice. 3) Edit document in OpenOffice. 4) In OpenOffice, from the File menu, choose Save. If the document is new, give it a new name. 5) In the OpenOffice Save dialog, choose the Save button. Two error messages are generated: OpenOffice.org 3.0 - Error saving the document Untitled1: Nonexistent file. Then: OpenOffice.org 3.0 - Error saving the document Untitled1: General Error. General input/output error. Should: OpenOffice should save new and modified (existing) files to an smb: share. I can successfully save this file locally and then copy it to the appropriate smb: share with no permission problems. Alternately, I can create, open and edit a file on either smb: share in gedit, then save that file with no problem as well. If there's any additional information I can provide, please let me know. rich -- can't save file in samba share https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/293548 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
