Bug description:
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
Ubuntu Karmic - recent upgrade from Jaunty - also moved from Gnome to
KDE
Open Office under KDE can't save files to my Maxtor NAS drive. If I
navigate to a file, all the folder names are displayed as numbers
rather than letters. If I try to create a new file on the the NAS
drive, an empty file is created, and then Open Office displays a
General IO error.
OpenOffice continues to work correctly if I switch the desktop to
Gnome
--
A little more info - in the cases described above, I was connecting to the
NAS using the "Network / Samba Shares" option in the Open Office file
manager.
I also have the files system mounted using the following entry in
fstab
/MAXTOR/GREENOCK /media/network/greenock cifs
credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777
0 0
If I access the files via the mount point, I can update an existing file,
but "SaveAs" gives a General Input/Ouput error, and creates an empty file
with the correct name

ccheney - note
This appears to be an issue with kernel cifs mounting possibly with
mand option, versus when using gnome and gvfs-fuse which does not use
regular cifs method to access files. This does not appear to be KDE
specific. Try using the cifs nobrl option to see if this helps.
