Please describe the problem you’ve encountered in detail:

  • Description: Powerpoint can’t save a file to the linux partition. It can read files from linux, but opens them read-only. It looks like a permission problem, but I don’t know enough about the fydeos file system and users to figure out what is going on.
  • When I click on ‘Browse’ when opening a file, the machine opens the default file manager showing the linux partition. However, when I click on ‘Browse’ when using ‘Save As’, I get something completely different.
  • The fydeos file manager can write to linux.

Thanks in advance
