[Solved] File save issues on Synology NAS

There is a switch for it in the CMake build process, FREECAD_USE_QT_FILEDIALOG. Apparently you turned it off in the last package update (freecad_0.17.13541-1ppa10).

I checked the gitpackaging release-qt5 branch, nothing was changed in comparison to the release branch, and in FreeCAD's CMakeLists.txt, FREECAD_USE_QT_FILEDIALOG is still set to ON in the source code; so there should be no reason to have to explicitly call it in the rules file. I don't understand why the last PPA build switched it off.

So, it turns out the GVFS and SMB Client that the Ubuntu file manager uses is known to be buggy. I switched to a regular kernel mount and everything behaves properly in either dialect of SMB. I'll log a bug with the Ubuntu team as I found a simple way to replicate it with as single echo command rather than through FreeCAD.

Code: Select all

echo "This is a test" > /run/user/1000/gvfs/smb-share\:server\=diskstation\,share\=fileshare/TestFile.txt

This would create a 0 byte file when speaking SMB2 and the actual file with data when speaking SMB1.

Thanks to all who contributed to this troubleshoot.

BTW, what's the forum's preferred way to mark an issue as resolved?

Good to hear that and thanks for being verbose.

P.S. It might make sense to test Ubuntu 18.10/19.04. To see if things improved regarding SMB2 support and GVfs.

You just edit your first post, and add a [Solved] prefix to the subject.
