[Samba] Powerpoint 2007 will not advance slides when saved on a Samba share
I have a linux workgroup server which is now running Opensuse 13.1 with Samba version 4.1.19-3.36.1-3442-SUSE-oS13.1-x86_64. My latest update to try and resolve this issue. With Powerpoint 2003 everything worked as expected. With Powerpoint 2007, slides will not advance unless the file is saved locally on the client. The client has been Windows XP, Windows Vista and now Windows 7 64. All updates have been installed on the clients and the server. Here is the relevant part of my smb.conf: # smb.conf is the main Samba configuration file. You find a full commented # version at /usr/share/doc/packages/samba/examples/smb.conf.SUSE if the # samba-doc package is installed. # Date: 2007-02-08 [global] netbios name = machine no 16 passdb backend = smbpasswd server string = KS2 Server workgroup = WORKGROUP printing = cups printcap name = cups printcap cache time = 750 cups options = raw domain logons = no domain master = no local master = yes preferred master = yes os level = 65 security = user wins support = yes name resolve order = wins lmhosts hosts bcast [shared] comment = shared folder path = /disk2/sharedwork readonly = no create mask = 0775 directory mask = 0775 hide files = /~*.*/ I know it is not advisable to have spaces in the netbios name but it is a long story and apart from this Powerpoint issue, everything else works as expected. Any advise would be appreciated. Thank you
