LibreOffice 3.4.3 OOO340m1 (Build:302) Ubuntu 11.10 Any attempt to save a document to an external device via a Samba share results in the following dialog: Error saving the document... General Error. General input/output error. I CAN save to a LOCAL folder, MOVE the file to aSamba drive using the Ubuntu file browser, and then successfully OPEN the moved file in LibO, and I CAN save files directly to a Samba drive from other applications, so I think it's safe to say it's NOT a Samba fault. This problem has been around since OpenOffice, and has simply become insufferable.
