libre office - cant open network documents
 

hi all,

i am using libre office v-4.0.2.2

i can open documents stored on the local disk but any documents stored on the CIFS server i can view them on nautilis browser but i cant open them (see screenshot)

people have said if you comment out a line in the config file that reads "X-GIO-NoFuse=true" but i cant find this line anywhere in the file

also "Exec=libreoffice --writer %U => Exec=libreoffice --writer %F" but that doesnt work either

can anyone please help me out, i would very gratefull

cheers,

rob

Strange! No solutions but a few ideas. Can you open the pdf file using a PDF reader?

Can you copy the file from the share to local drive and open from there?

At the time you attempt to open the file, can you check /var/log/messages?

that looks to be a web browser issue
with MICROSOFT office excel spreed sheet

as in you did not tell it what program to use
Libreoffice has to CONVERT it first to ".ods "

i have tried to open the pdf document aswell... no luck

i will try to copy it from the network to my home folder and see if it opens that way, good thinking

i will also check the logs, thanks

cheers,

why not click the "select application" button and SET it to use libreoffice

ok i have done some tests and any input or thoughts would be great, -

-----------------------------------------

mount -t cifs -o username=robertw,password=mypassword //molfiler03/Public /mnt/Public/

and i can see the network share and i can open up pdf/word/excel docs (they open by default in libre office)

------------------------------------------

when i open up nautilus and type in "smb://molfiler03/Public" i can see the network share but cannot open any document

------------------------------------------

when i drag the file from the share "smb://molfiler03/Public" to my home folder i can open it

------------------------------------------

so if i mount it manually it works but via gvfs it doesnt but also via gvfs if i drag to my home folder i can open it

i dont understand

In Nautilus can you use the left hand tool bar to navigate to Filesystem->/mnt/Public

The way I read it, you are trying to access the smb share rather than the mount point on your CentOS box. I have always used the mount point. In fact, if I try to access the share directly, nautilus can not find it!
