That bug was with 9.10 and 3.1.1, which worked OK here on the LAN. It does have some similar characteristics, though. Interesting that it showed with KDE but not Gnome. Maybe my using Gnome was why I didn't see it. (potential experiment suggested in that, I wonder what the difference is).
I see all the discussion about fftruncate and whatnot but that does not seem to fill the bill. If the file call was a problem, other apps would show similar behavior, it seems to me. This one smells a whole lot to me like OOo is getting some return value from handling its lock file that it does not recognize and does not handle gracefully. In any case, that 'general file io error' is indicative of something trapped that OOo doesn't like and isn't reported in any useful fashion. That's something to fix in any case as even cryptic error codes are better than having to insert debug backtracking to figure out the stimulus for a crash. I also don't think suspicion on the NAS devices is worthwhile. Mine is a Netgear ReadyNAS Duo and the other bug used a different one. It appears some of the reporters here used other servers. Another key is that OOo was working with LAN files, and is working, on the 9.10 machine I have on the LAN but not the new 10.04 installs. If the NAS was the problem, it'd be the problem in all cases. I am aware of the conflicts between SMB and Unix permissions. These have been a royal pain and the current hassle is autofs needing explicit specific user settings. (don't know but maybe its fixed now??) At any rate, it appears that the problem consistently shows in some environments and not in others. OOo is one common factor. Since it is LAN related, knowing about that topology is probably going to be needed but it does appear that OOo is doing something different than most other applications as it seems to be aware of local versus LAN based files and modifies its behavior accordingly. Need more data, always need more data. I'll see what I can do to collect some. -- crashes opening network file, leaves lock file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/578402 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
