Public bug reported: I'm trying to open a spreadsheet file located in a NTFS partition, but LibreOffice gives an error saying the permission is denied. I am sure I have permission to edit that file and that partition because I could edit it with Gedit (it does not show Read-Only on the bar) and I copied and created new files (not with LibreOffice) in the same directory the spreadsheet is.
The NTFS partition is mounted at boot time using the following on /etc/fstab (redacted): UUID=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA /mnt/W10 ntfs-3g defaults,windows_names 0 0 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: libreoffice 1:5.4.4-0ubuntu5 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.13.0-32.35-generic 4.13.13 Uname: Linux 4.13.0-32-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.8-0ubuntu10 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: XFCE Date: Tue Feb 20 23:16:05 2018 InstallationDate: Installed on 2017-06-13 (252 days ago) InstallationMedia: Xubuntu 17.04 "Zesty Zapus" - Release amd64 (20170412) SourcePackage: libreoffice UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to bionic on 2017-10-20 (124 days ago) ** Affects: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug bionic third-party-packages -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1750707 Title: LibreOffice says permission was denied to open a file in a NTFS partition, even with it having permission To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1750707/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
