Hello I can confirm this bug which started on my installations with the upgrade to 8.10. When I open an OOO Base file (.odb) via a smb share, I can work with it fine. When I close OOO, the file gets saved with 0 bytes and is gone. The smb share is mounted via cifs and worked fine before upgrading to 8.10. Here is the OOO version openoffice.org: Installiert: 1:2.4.1-11ubuntu2 Kandidat: 1:2.4.1-11ubuntu2 Versions-Tabelle: *** 1:2.4.1-11ubuntu2 0 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status CIFS info: filename: /lib/modules/2.6.27-7-generic/kernel/fs/cifs/cifs.ko version: 1.54 description: VFS to access servers complying with the SNIA CIFS Specification e.g. Samba and Windows license: GPL author: Steve French
