I can confirm this bug too on Ubuntu 14.04 and LibreOffice 4.2.7.2 Using owncloud webdav.
Error description: receiving "general input/output error" when trying to load a document from a Nautilus davs folder. Workaround: Open the document in LibreOffice using "File/Open". However it is not very user friendly for network users. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1100190 Title: [Upstream] I/O Error while opening file from WebDAV over GVFS from Nautilus To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/df-libreoffice/+bug/1100190/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
