If this bug is about the problem to save .doc files to SMB shares, then I can confirm this in Fedora 9 - on some machines I can save to .doc files on SMB shares though OpenOffice.org asks me specifically for a username and password even though I'm saving to an open gvfs mount (that I browsed to with the GNOME "save as" dialog), while in some machines I don't get a password prompt but instead I immediately get a "general input output error" dialog. I think the different has something to do with gvfs-fuse. Note that in both cases, opening and saving with ODT format works just fine (!!). It might be related to Bug #454242 In Fedora 10 (rawhide) OTOH saving to doc files works just fine while opening doc files breaks (see Bug #470302). Again, ODT files work just fine. yes I am facing this problem on fedora 9, and yes everything works fine with ODT format docs. Currently I'm bypassing this problem by opening the document from inside Open office writer and entering the required credentials. I think it could also be related to open office itself, on another machine running RHEL 5.1, I installed open office from Sun's website not from an RPM repository, on that machine everything works fine with ODT and MS docs. So maybe the fedora RPM(s) for open office has/have a bug?? I'm not sure ... On fedora forums I was told that it is a Nautilus related problem. Thanks Please note that OpenOffice from Fedora 9 still uses old gnome-vfs2. However accessing documents at '/home/ajax/.gvfs/test on 192.168.0.10/' should be working (to be checked). Another issue might be mixing gio-based filechooser and gnome-vfs2 based OpenOffice. I can confirm this problem on fedora 9. However when using the SMB share directly (not via gvfs) using the open-file menu item in Writer it seems to work. This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
