Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Could you confirm this issue still affects Ubuntu 14.04? In addition are the error messages, etc still correct?
If so : The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/Freedesktop. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance. ** Changed in: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- 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/40537 Title: Cannot write to NFS files Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite: Confirmed Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “openoffice.org” package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: SOLUTION: 1. Use NFSv4 if possible 2. Install nfs-common package if not installed == Opening a file within an NFS mounted filesystem causes OpenOffice to show the file in read-only mode, and remove the margins and various other editing widgets from the application window. Any attempt to save a document to an NFS mount results in an error dialog that contains the text:- Error saving the document Filename.odt: General Error. General input/output error. This makes the application extremely awkward to use in an office type environment, and is a huge step backwards in functionality from the OpenOffice.org 1.1.4 package it replaced for me. This bug is know in debian as bug #335742. It was closed by un upstream release. In breezy, there is no way to work around the bug wich make ooo unusable in breezy in an office environment with NFS. A partial solution would be to release a backport for openoffice.org2 from dapper, as the version in dapper works.
