Re: [libreoffice-users] "save as" on a samba server

Hi :)

Nautilus is sometimes a bit unpredictable and seems to suffer from some weird 
bug in dealing with networks.  If i have troubles with it i often find 
installing a different file-browser such as Thunar or Dolphin (brings in tons of 
bloat unless you already use KDE) are often able to cope but i haven't explored 
to find the best file-browser to use because i just keep preferring Nautilus 
despite it's occasional glitch.  


However it's more likely that the problem is the server itself rather than the 
desktop machines, particularly if it's a Windows Server.
Regards from
Tom :)

yes this happens only with libreoffice, i've tried with gedit and gimp 
and it works perfectly.
It works also perfectly with libreoffice in a windows session and with 
libreoffice in an ubuntu session on an other pc.
In fact the problem is linked to this pc + libreoffice + ubuntu. Change 
any of these 3 parameters and up to now it works.

How the samba shared are mounted is a goog question. I'm not really 
aware of this question.
I just right clic on the part "shortcuts" ot the main menu then 
"networks" and then in nautilus open any of the samba servers, creating 
shortcuts (signets in french) for further access. What is noticeable is 
that it is mounted or accessed exactly the same way on the other ubuntu 
pc and works perfectly.
