Error when opening files on a SAMBA share (Plasma Desktop) #257

Closed chrisHRD closed 2 weeks ago

chrisHRD commented 1 year ago

Issue When LibreOffice is installed via Flathub's flatpak, the application is unable to properly open documents, spreadsheets, presentations, etc... over an SMB server connection when selected via KDE Plasma Desktop's file manager (Dolphin). An error is provided on screen about the file being locked and unable to be opened. Screenshot provided below. This issue applies to all remote LibreOffice files. The native packages of LibreOffice found on Fedora or Debian do not have this issue (when used in conjunction with the Plasma Desktop and its file manager).

This provides a challenge on systems where the Flatpak is the primary offering of LibreOffice, namely Fedora Kinoite and SteamOS.

Sidenote: when using distrobox to install the DEB variant of LibreOffice on an immutable OS like Fedora Kinoite, the native package is able to open remote SMB files via Fedora's native Dolphin.

Did this only start to happen right now after an update of the LibreOffice flatpak? What is the output of a flatpak info org.libreoffice.LibreOffice command line?

Hello, This has been occurring to me since I moved over to the Flatpak version around version 7.4 (I believe). I migrated to Fedora Kinoite 38 for my work machine. When trying to manipulate documents on our company's Debian SAMBA Server, I discovered this issue with the flatpak (as well as the absence of the KDE file I/O dialogs).

On Fedora KDE Spin, using the native libreoffice-kf5 package, this issue does not occur. For testing I added the native libreoffice-kf5 package via distrobox on Fedora Kinoite and things works as expected. So I guess we can rule out the base OS.

I confirm the presence of this problem. I use Debian and Flatpak, when I open a document from the network (smb) I get the same message. LibreOffice version 7.6.2.1

eszlari commented 10 months ago

Can confirm on Kubuntu 23.10.

I'll add that I can confirm this problem is present running on the KDE Neon, fully updated as of 04/08/2024. I can provide any additional info might be helpful...

Can confirm it is possible to "open" LibreOffice documents on a Samba server on Fedora 40 with Plasma 6.2 via Dolphin; however, you cannot save back to the file server in a new location because the Save-As-Dialog is the GTK one. I'm going to close this issue now and look to see if the Save-As-Dialog issue is reported elsewhere.
