[Bug 15451] Re: Kubuntu SMB issue with OpenOffice

[Marcelo Barreto Nees]

"The problem lies (AFAIK) in the network implementation of KDE."

I think it's related to OOo, not KDE, as you can see here:
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=54567

I use Debian Sid on my Desktop (KDE 3.5.8 / OOo 2.2.1).
I opened a samba shared file using "smb:/" ioslave. Instead of double-clicking the remote file on konqueror, I right clicked that file and choosed "Open with: soffice".

I could change the file and, when I closed OOo, a window asked me if I'd
like to send the changes to the server. I clicked "Yes" and the file was
sent to the server with no problem.

I've tried the same (with success) with:
- Kubuntu 7.04 - Feisty (KDE 3.5.6 / OOo 2.2.0)
- Kubuntu 7.10 - Gibsy (KDE 3.5.8 / OOo 2.3.0).

Known issue:
- If you open two (or more) files using this method, only one file will be saved on the server (the last you close). Two processes remains opened:
- kioexec soffice smb://user@server/share/Doc1.doc
- kio_smb [kdeinit] smb /tmp/ksocket-$USER/klauncherGjwCea.sl
