--- Comment #10 from David <djreimer at gmail.com> ---
I'm having this problem. I cannot open LibO docs in LibO from a gvfs mount
point to a samba share. I'm running:

LibO Version: 5.4.1.2
Build ID: 1:5.4.1-0ubuntu1
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.13; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; 
Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); Calc: group

On Ubuntu Gnome 17.10

If I try to ope a file *either* from LibO > File > Open, *or* from
double-clicking in a file-manager (either default Gnome [=Nautilus?], or
PCManFM), I get:

General input/output error while accessing
//run/user/1000/gvfs/smb-share:server=server.uk,share=path/to/file/my-file.odt.

I mount the remote share using Gigilo, and other apps (e.g. AbiWord) have no
problem accessing files. As an aside, I used to be able to mount via /etc/fstab
using these instructions:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently

and LibO could access files using that "mount point". Unfortunately, that
"cifs.mount" approach is now failing for me for some unknown reason (the error
message does not enlighten). I believe that's a red herring here, though, given
the way that ALL other apps can use the gvfs mount point without any glitch.

I have applied the "workaround" of commenting out "X-GIO-NoFuse=true" from the
*.desktop files, but without any effect:

I need this access regularly, it's most frustrating. (I am copying files from
remote share to local disk, editing, copying back.) If there's any debugging I
can help with, please instruct: I'm "just a user"....
