I have a USB stick plugged into my router which then provides it on the network as a NAS. It's a handy way to share working files between my Windows PC and my Linux PC.
I can open .ods and .odt files directly from the file explorer view in Windows, but if I try to do the same in Linux I get an error message:
It's not that the file is unreadable, or the storage is unwritable, from Linux: if I use a click-and-drag operation to copy the file from the NAS to the desktop, and then double-click the file, it opens in OOo fine. Then I can drag it back to the NAS after editing and it will open in Windows fine (direct from the NAS).General input/output error while
accessing /run/user/1000/gvfs/smb-
share:server=readyshare,share=usb_
storage/<filename>.
"General input/output error" doesn't say very much. How do we go about tracking down what the actual problem is?
