Public bug reported: 1) Ubuntu: Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS 2) Libre Office: 4.2.3~rc3-0ubuntu2~precise1 3) If one person has opened a network shared file, and another one tries to open it, the message asking to open it as read only or a copy should be shown. 4) I get the message informing me that the file is damaged and if i want to repair it (wichever option i choose, i end up with a "general error").
Notes: a) This happens if i open a file and i try to open it again b) Only happens on network shares (smb, cifs, using nautilus, defining them in fstab, using pam_mount, etc, this is not the same bug from some time ago were smb shares would fail if mounted browsing the windows network in nautilus) c) Only happens on LTSP thin clients, with libreoffice running on the server. d) If the user blocking the file is not an LTSP thin client machine, even from a thing client machine, you get the correct message. It would seem that only thin clients fail to do SOMETHING to correctly inform that the file is blocked. e) Logging directly to the server (not as a thin client), i don't have this issue either ** Affects: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1314768 Title: LTSP + Libreoffice + network share + open an already opened file = file damaged warning Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: 1) Ubuntu: Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS 2) Libre Office: 4.2.3~rc3-0ubuntu2~precise1 3) If one person has opened a network shared file, and another one tries to open it, the message asking to open it as read only or a copy should be shown. 4) I get the message informing me that the file is damaged and if i want to repair it (wichever option i choose, i end up with a "general error").
