OpenOffice General Internet Error has occured

[Thomas Novin]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

When I access a smb:// url in Nautilus and then try to open the document in OpenOffice I get an error saying "General Internet Error has occured.".

If I copy the file to my desktop and open it from there it works fine.

This works fine for me on ubuntu 8.04 openoffice.org 1:2.4.1-1ubuntu2. If you are able to provide any additional information about this issue that might help me reproduce this issue feel free to add it.

Thanks!

I am still able to reproduce this. Now when I tried it I opened a .doc-file by pressing Enter in Nautilus having the file selected I got the error.

If I instead navigate to $HOME/.gvfs/... it works without copying the file locally.

The smb:// url looks like this when I have the problem:

smb://server.domain.root/share/My%20Directory

[Chris Cheney (ccheney)]

I have no idea why it doesn't work for you... You do have openoffice.org-gnome installed right? Its opening it fine for me directly not having to go through gvfs fuse (thats what the ~/.gvfs dir is for).

Have you tried opening a "genuine" MS Office-created DOC/XLS instead of an ODT?

[Thomas Novin (thomasn80)]

Strange, I thought this was fixed since it worked fine a few days ago but now when I went to a share and opened a document, I got general internet error again.

[Thomas Novin (thomasn80)]

As I usually do, I copied a document I was working with to my Desktop, edited it and saved it as a new filename, copied it back to the share and when I tried to open that document I got prompted for username and password to access the share.

I filled in my details but then I got General Internet Error occured again.

[Thomas Novin (thomasn80)]

Today I got a popup asking me for user/pass and after I entered them (in form domain\username) I managed to open a document.

If OOo just was integrated with Seahorse I guess this wouldn't be a problem.

[Onkar Shinde (onkarshinde)]

I haven't yet seen this problem with OOo in hardy. And I edit files on smb share daily.

Seahorse is only for managing ssh and gpg keys. Not for managing smb credentials.

[Thomas Novin (thomasn80)]

I see it every day...

I think you are wrong about Seahorse, I can see passwords saved for:

Wireless Networks
GSM Networks
VPN Connections
SMB connections
FTP connections
IMAP accounts
SMTP accounts

I get this same thing once in awhile. It comes and goes. I have no idea what is the same/different when it works/breaks.

This bug could be fixed by resolving bug #229839.
