I suspect that this is an overall issue with LibreOffice 3.6 in a GNOME- based desktop environment (tested in Unity and GNOME Shell). I experienced the same behavior indicated in the original bug report when trying to save files to different forms of network storage from LO 3.6 -- in my case, Samba/SMB/CIFS and WebDAV. Opening files from network storage works fine (though LO still handles files over WebDAV independently from the OS). With the Windows shares, I could only save the file if the file already existed. Consistent with the original bug report, I could not save *new* files. With WebDAV, I could not save *at all* -- even to an existent file.
I first noticed this behavior with an otherwise successful manual backport of LO 3.6.2 from Quantal (12.10) to Precise (12.04). Thinking that the problem might have been something being different in Precise, I then tested for the problem in a fresh install of Quantal. After seeing the problem in Quantal as well, I tested for it in another Linux distribution (in that case, using LO 3.6.3). The behavior was the same across the board. In all three cases, the desktop environment was GNOME- based, with the network storage having been mounted via GVFS/GIO. I know for sure that this problem did not exist in LibreOffice 3.5. In the past, I have seen KDE handle network storage better than GNOME -- especially with OpenOffice and LibreOffice. I will soon test all of this in KDE as well, to ensure that more bases have been covered. I would consider this bug with network storage to be a significant regression, and a high priority for anyone using LO in the enterprise (where the use of network storage is common). I hope that the importance of this bug will be considered to be high. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1069757 Title: Libreoffice: problems with saving docs to directories of Windows networks (through samba-connection) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1069757/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
