Description Victor Gavrish 2009-08-17 13:07:57 UTC 
Reposting the bug from Ubuntu's Launchpad. (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/414504)

Binary package hint: gvfs

Files won't open properly over the network: documents fail to open in OpenOffice (it says file format error found); text files fail to open (gedit says unexpected error: invalid argument); most archives won't open (fileroller says Unexpected EOF in archive); files fail to copy to the local system (in fact, they do copy, but on finishing the transfer nautilus says "Invalid argument").

However, playing audio and video files seems to work, even if copying them still fails.

It seems to me as though the system can't access the final several kilobytes (or megabytes) of any file.

I think this must be a bug in gvfs, but I might be mistaken.

Comment 1 Ross Lagerwall 2013-11-04 19:58:10 UTC 
Can you try this with a recent gvfs to see if it still a problem? Is it easily reproducible?

Also try using the cmdline tools:
gvfs-copy smb://host/path ~/file.bin
Comment 2 Felix Möller 2014-04-06 10:53:05 UTC 
I have no problems opening OpenOffice documents not gedit files. 

Without any steps to reproduce I think this issue should be closed as INCOMPLETE or WONTFIX.
