Hi--

Just upgraded from Ubuntu 8.04 lts to 10.04 lts. Now OOo crashes about half the time I try to open a network (samba) file in OpenOffice.org Writer or calc. However, when I have the same file on the local machine, it has no problems opening the file.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling OOo from Synaptic—still crashes on opening some files (but not all files) from the network.

Uninstalled and reinstalled using the OOo download: 3.2.1; had to use gftp to download it; http would not save it.

Still having the problem with OOo 3.2.1 crashing on many files.

Workaround is to open readonly, then resave it. Cannot resave on top of the read only file , so it is a two step process.

Is Ubuntu 10.04 incompatible with OOo 3.2?

Anybody got any ideas?

Thanks!
