Description Danny Cook 2011-03-01 16:23:21 UTC

I have mounted a .iso file using Ubuntu's default Archive Mounter. Attempting to open any file on it using Writer (i.e., Open With) causes a dialog to be displayed which says "General input/ouput error while accessing [file path]." Then the program exits. Opening the same files from within an existing Writer  session fails silently.

confirming (on maverick)

Comment 2 Björn Michaelsen 2011-03-02 02:56:26 UTC

Seems like we try to open the file RDWR, which gives no joy:

open("/home/bjoern/.gvfs/natty-desktop-amd64.iso/md5sum.txt", O_RDWR) = -1 EOPNOTSUPP (Operation not supported)

Comment 3 Danny Cook 2011-03-02 04:10:19 UTC

It looks like the problem is not confined just to Writer. I just tried with the other programs in the suite and they all failed the same way.

I no longer have my original setup, but I've successfully opened a file on a mounted iso using Writer 3.3.3 on my up-to-date LMDE system.

Comment 6 Roman Eisele 2012-05-04 00:29:28 UTC

Changed Summary according to comment #3 (not only Writer affected).

@Danny Cook:
What do you thing? Can we close this bug report, as per comment #5 it seems to work for you now, or do you think we should keep this report open?

Comment 7 Danny Cook 2012-05-10 17:54:54 UTC

Yeah, I'd say so. (Hope it's okay that I'm closing it. I'm not sure what the etiquette on this bug tracker is.)
