I have tested this with i386 and still get the same problem. It does not effect only x86_64.
I installed LibreOffice 3.4 and gvfs 1.9 (from oneiric) but this did not solve anything. It's questionable whether this is a LO or gvfs bug. I agree this problem deserves more attention. A user downloads the newest Ubuntu, browses a company share, saves a file and it just doesn't work. I've been using pam_mount as a workaround but this doesn't let non technical users add shares themselves using nautilus or the connect to server gui tool. I've posted a bug report to LO. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40206 ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #40206 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40206 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/792622 Title: Cannot save documents to samba shares Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: libreoffice I browse to a samba share using nautilus.
