Java Desktop System Release 2 Troubleshooting Guide

Files Do Not Open

Problem  

If you try to open a document from a directory that is mounted with NFS the File Manager displays an error if the application owning the document cannot process a filename argument passed as a URL

For example, StarOffice™, OpenOffice, vi, acroread, and ggv applications cannot process URLs, therefore the File Manager encounters errors when opening NFS files with these applications.

The same problem arises for files in directories that are mounted with Samba (SMB). 

Solution  

Copy the files to a local directory, in other words, not a Samba or NFS directory.
