Lucid Impress crashes when opening a file located on a Samba smbfs mount

[Michael Lueck]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

I use the Samba smbfs package to mount remote shares to mount points on workstations, uqivilant to Login scripts and drive mapping on Windows.

Navaging to a directory with Nautilus on the Samba server, then trying to open an Impress presentation file, I end up with an OOo crash screen.

This works perfectly with Ubuntu 9.04

I may copy the presentation file to the Ubuntu 10.04 workstation, and then it opens correctly without crashing OOo Impress.

Next I will do the apport-collect step.

Do using the nobrl mount option resolve this problem?

[Michael Lueck (mlueck)]

@Chris Cheney #2:

Indeed, adding the option nobrl to mount.cifs cured the problem on 10.04, and created no adverse side affects on 9.04.

"Resolved!" And quickly I might add. Thank You! :-)
