For two months I trying to search for a solutions for my problem with OpenOffice and Samba. The problem is that I can't create or edit files which are located on a samba share, because it comes up with a general input/output error.
I have setup an NFS server. And guess what..... I also get the general input/output error....
That was all on a OpenSUSE 10.3 client. Now I have installed Fedora Core 8. And guess again... Creating a new document or changing a document with OpenOffice on a samba share causes the general input/output error.
I also have tried the locking solution for soffice: (comment two lines)
Code:
# file locking now enabled by default
#SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING=1
#export SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING
I have bought an external network hard drive which uses samba to share directories. Again I get the general input/output error!
At this moment I really don't know what to do else.
In OpenSUSE 10.2 everything worked well. The moment I went to OpenSUSE 10.3 and now Fedora Core 8 have caused me a lot of time trying to solve this problem. On the internet I only can find the soffice solutions. I haven't found any other solutions. I hope someone has the FINAL solutions for me. Because there must be a lot more people having this problem.
