Well... it seems there isn't a way to add a layer from network on Ubuntu. LibreOffice has issues also to open files from network: you must first to define a bookmark to network. After that, remote folder can be opened but through this bookmark, which is recognized by other programs like Inkscape and Gimp... but not by QGIS :-(.
Maybe this link can help you: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountWindowsSharesPermanently (too complicated for me), or maybe looking for *ubuntu open file network* on Goolge. If so, please share your solution. Good luck Carlos 2014/1/5 sbear <[email protected]> > I have Libreoffice on Ubuntu 12.04 and have no problems opening a file on > the remote NTFS machine.
