F15/64 bit.

Has anyone else tried opening a document in libreoffice when the
document in on an NFS file system?

It reports that the document is locked by "user unknown" and will offer
to open the document read-only. It will also fail to save the document
on the NFS file system.

However, if I run /usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin directly,
it is OK....

Nothing found in bugzilla

Thanks,
Ed

Hi Ed,
I do not run libreoffice, but I thought you
might check the command in /usr/bin to
see what args it is passing to the script
that starts soffice.bin

Thanks for the suggestion..... Somehow it has something to do with file
locking.

I edited the /usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/soffice script to comment
out the line:

SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING=1

and it now works "properly".

Will have to bugzilla it....

I can't read text or spreadsheet data from NFS with Libreoffice.

Otherwise NFS is working normally and Libreoffice will work with the
same files copied to this computer.

I tried setting

SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING=1
to
SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING=0


It does not help. There seems to be something else going on with
Libreoffice. This is F-15 32 on a 64 bit computer if that matters
other than that I am dealing with
"./usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice."

Can you read other files across nfs,
have you tried a pdf, using evinceother
to see if nfs is at fault.

Don't set it to 0, comment out the line. I think there is a difference....

If I remember correctly, I tried 0 too....

I commented it out instead, still no joy!

Also tried evince, which I had to install first since apparently
it doesn't come with the xfce spin? No problem displaying the
.pdf from the server.

My calendar and notes that I keep in notecase all work just
fine, it's only Libreoffice I have trouble with and it works
with the openeoffice files as long as they are copied to this
computer.

I see....

Could you try one other thing that worked for me?

Could you execute /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin directly?

Ah Ha!

I see why it didn't work for you earlier.... You commented out *both*
lines. Only the first line "SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING=1" should have been
commented out.

I went through that iteration too.... I should have made sure of
that...but things were a bit fuzzy while fighting that problem as I was
also fighting a flaky display panel on another system.
