I had the same problem as HubertB.... I can access remote files with LibreOffice using KIO SLAVES Samba protocol (SMB://), but when any change is done in the file, this change is not committed to the computer from which this file came from (SMB server)...
These changes are kept in the client computer (the computer that access the SMB remote file) location /var/tmp/kdecache-<username>/krun/<something> Please solve this issue as fast as possible since this can cause serious problems to Enterprise environments that need files to be committed to a central SAMBA server... PS: This issue is verified in LibreOffice version 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5 (installed from LibreOffice UnOfficial Repositories) in a Kubuntu 11.04 32 bit OS with SAMBA version 2:3.5.8~dfsg-1ubuntu2.2 Thanks for your help, André M. ** Tags added: apport-collected natty ** Description changed: Binary package hint: libreoffice Hello, Problem: When I try to open a file located in another PC (via Network - being more specific, via SAMBA) with LibreOffice 3.3.1 (in my case, BrOffice 3.3.1), it says that it can't open a remote file, so I'm obligated to copy the file to my PC to be able to open it... Solution: Implement an opening procedure that is capable of lock the file via network and with it, enable the opening of remote files (files located in another PC via Network - SAMBA or NFS)... Workaround: Copy the remote file to your local PC and, after saving the modifications done by LibreOffice in this local file, move it to the PC that it came from, replacing the file... PS: I tried opening this remote file in a PC which I have permissions to read/write as ADMINISTRATOR...
