<pre>Description:
I use linux computers (variants of Ubuntu) connected to a Windows network.
The Linux OS accesses the Windows network through samba shares.
Opening files using the files explorer never works. LO seems to launch but then
nothing happens. This happens when double-clicking the file or using an opened
instance of LO and using the menu 'Open file'.
I have been having this problem for along time. There was a workaround which
was going to the application launchers in /usr/share/applications and editing
all the LibreOffice*.desktop files to comment the following line :
X-GIO-NoFuse=true
This was working fine, although it had to be done again regularly (the files
being automatically changed during certain system updates, I guess).
That worked with Linux Mint 17.3
But I am now trying to make this work with Xubuntu 16.04 and it does not work.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect a Linux OS to a samba share with any LO file on it.
2. Use the file explorer (Nemo, Thunar, ..) to navigate to the samba share OR
launch LO and use the 'Open file' command and then navigate to the file.
3. Double-click the file to open it.
Actual Results:
LO seems to launch but then nothing happens (probably crashing).
Expected Results:
LO should launch and open the file.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No but I tried this with several use profiles.
