Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
If I am trying to open a .doc file from nautilus with openoffice on a
password protected SMB share, it works great.
But if the SMB share is public, so no user/password is needed to connect
to it, openoffice fails to open if with 'General internet error'
message.
Meanwhile, if I do specify my user name and password explicitly
(smb://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/foo/bar), openoffice is able to open the file.
And after successfully opening the file, subsequent attempts to open the
same file without specifying the user name also works.
(Note: I have saved my smb password in gnome keyring.)
In my interpretation it seems that
- if gnome vfs is connected without username to the SMB server then openoffice
fails to open anything with 'General internet error' message.
- if gnome vfs is connected with username/password to the SMB server then
openoffice opens files OK.
