As suggested by a file-roller developer, I tried to create new archives in the samba share from other applications. It showed that Nautilus has no problems in creating new folders and files from templates. Then, I also tried saving a new file directly from Libreoffice Writer, Calc and Impress, Gimp, Eye of Gnome, Evince, Shotwell, Firefox, Thunderbird and PDFmod all from Quantal repositories. Only saving from Shotwell and Evince worked. All others returned an I/O error, like file-roller does. Mozilla Firefox, Thunderbird and PDFmod report that they can't use a remote directory instead.
So, if the bug is not really in file-roller, I'm going to file a new bug here. I just don't really know which package to refer, I only understand that it might be related to gvfs or samba. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1071759 Title: Can't create new archives in mounted samba shares To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/file-roller/+bug/1071759/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
