[Solved] Open ods or odt files from a smb share throws damaged file error [closed]
Hi there,
Opening xls, csv files with LO is not a problem. Opening ods, odt files from .gvfs mount point also open up fine. The problem is that Nautilus will follow the symlink inside the .gvfs folder to transform it back to smb://server and LO complains that the file is corrupted. (It is not, if I copy the file to home folder it will open up fine). It I choose to repair the file, a LO Math opens up an empty file. If I choose not to repair the file, LO gets stuck in a loop asking all the time if I want to repair it.
I did some reading and came up with different opinions wheter the problem is file locking, some gvfs-fuse problem and other non working solutions.
Currently I'm using LO 4.1.1 on a Xubuntu 12.04
I rely on this smb share, I can't change it to NFS or whatever. Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe
I've been having the same problems. I'm using Ubuntu 13.04, with LO 4.1.1. and it will not open any word, calc or base file over a GVFS share mount, I have to copy it to my desktop and open it from there.
From another computer, Ubuntu 13.04 and LO 4.0.0.3, I am able to open files but occasionally get corrupt files - sometimes they are not really corrupt (opens from the computer holding the files) but other times the file does become truly corrupted and non-recoverable.
