Bug Description
Enable gio in OOo 3.0.0 to see if it helps resolve this issue.
===
Intrepid Ibex, Updates through today, 07.10.2008.
Setting:
To share my files across my computers, I set up a small Debian server. I use Samba to serve my files. The server is working correctly (Windows XP, and my Hardy install and a Fedora install use it without any problems. I can see the share and open files from it. I can also move, delete and rename files on the sharewith Nautilus.
What should happen:
When I hit "save" in an application, I should be able to save a file directly to the network share.
What actually happens:
When I try to save a file that I opened to the network share again, things fall apart:
- OpenOffice (2.4.1 on one machine, 3.0rc2 from ppa on another) replies (in German): "Fehler beim Speichern des Dokumentes [filename]: Allgemeiner Fehler. Allgemeiner Ein-/Ausgabefehler"
That translates roughly to: "Error saving file: common error. Common Input/Outputerror"
If I save a file under a new name, OpenOffice will create the file on the share with the name, but give me the error and the filesize is 0 Bytes.
- GEdit does this: (Open file, change something, save as (new name)): create the file under the new name with 0 Bytes, give me error "File /path/to/filename could not be saved. unexpected error: not a directory". When I start Gedit from terminal, I get to see "WARNING **: Hit unhandled case 4 (Not a directory) in parse_error.
- Bluefish: this one is interesting because a little different: it manages to write the file without errors - but only to a new file. I cannot open a file, change something and save it under the same name.
Additional info:
- I can save to local shares without any problem. This happens specifically with networked Samba shares.
- This problem is the same on 3 computers. They are all pretty much naked, new installs.
- My /etc/fstab line for the samba share:
//192.168.x.x/Daten /home/christian
Best regards,
Christian

I just found an important additional piece of information:
I unmounted the share and mounted it again, but not with the fstab-entry, but instead via "Places" - "Network" - "Windows Network" - "Workgroup" - "Servername" (and rightklick there the share)
In this scenario GEDit and Bluefis work. I am able to edit files directly on the network share and save them (under the same and under new names)
The problem persists in the described manner when using OpenOffice.
Is this some kind of gvfs issue? (I totally don't have a clue, I justed searched the internet for quite some time yesterday and today in the morning for some issue like this)
