When open network files, those are always read only :-(

[RafaelTravecedo]

Hi,

Somebody please help me.

With last version Libreoffice 6.4.0.3 over Linux Ubuntu 18.04, every try to open a network shared file (Samba protocol) is opened in a read only mode. If I copy the file form the Windows shared folder to local machine, it’s opened RW.

Before (yesterday), with Libreoffice 6.0.3 it didn’t happened.

I check folder and files permissions and they are Full Read&Write.

B.R.

Rafael

Did you test whether the issue is related to file locking? To test - temporarily disable file locking though: org.openoffice.Office.Common\Misc\UseLocking to false using Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice -> Advanced -> Button: Open Expert Configuration -> Search: UseLocking.

I've tested on my Linux system (openSUSE Linux 15.1 and LibreOffice 6.4.0.3) and I got no problem, (with `UseLocking` set to `true`) to open a file shared **from** my Windows 10 box. Do you explicitly force `vers=3.0` (CIFS protocol version) when sharing the folder from the Windows system?
Please do **not** use *Add Answer* but **[edit](https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/when-open-network-files-those-are-always-read-only/49336)** your original question to enhance the details of your question. Thanks in advance …

Did you try the Open Remote function of LibreOffice? It works better then LibreOffice with CIFS.
