------- Additional comments from [email protected] Tue Jan 19 21:49:57 +0000 2010 ------- I'm running Gentoo x86_32 linux. I had installed app-office/openoffice-3.1.1 from source, but oocalc would hang and not be able to recover a spreadsheet. So I switched to app-office/openoffice-bin-3.2.0_rc2 thinking that would fix the problem, but it didn't. I finally figured out that the problem has something to do with soft symlinks. (It might also have something to do with nfs filesystems) I have an nfs-mounted folder server1:/home/user/Desktop/Incomplete mounted at /home/user/server1 on my workstation pc. and a "Work" folder with various symlinks to unfinished projects Work/project1 -> ~/server1/project1 If I have a spreadsheet "Work/ss.ods" which I copy to "Work/project1/ss.ods" oocalc hangs when opening "Work/project1/ss.ods" but not when opening the identical file "Work/ss.ods". This is reproducible always. I can't tell you how many times I've opened a spreadsheet template, filled in scores of cells and saved to Work/project1/ss.ods, then was unable to reopen the saved spreadsheet and had to start all over again. oocalc would try to recover but would just hang. I tried removing ~/.ooo3/.lock and ~/.ooo3/user/registry/data/org/openoffice/Recover.xcu but could never recover my work. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
