I have just a bit more to add on the subject. I'm having the same issue. Can't open OOo files over smb share on Kubuntu Gutsy install. OOo splash screen displays then disappears, calc never opens. Browsing shares and trying to open via the OOo file dialog produces the following message - Protocal "smb" is supported only partially. Local copy of the file will be created.
I decided to try to replicate the problem on my Ubuntu machine by installing the Kubuntu desktop. Strange thing is - it actually works! That is, you can actually open the files while browsing an smb share with konqueror or dolphin... running Kubuntu desktop over Ubuntu Gutsy. So it seems there should be a rather easy solution, right?? P.S. - I new here, please be gentle. -- Kubuntu SMB issue with OpenOffice https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/15451 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a direct subscriber. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
