Bug ID: 161385
Summary: FILEOPEN Locked by Unknow user when no ~lock file
exists
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.3.6.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Not sure if what may be a corrupted file is considered a bug but the only
reason I am reporting this is due to what can and can't be done with the file
as reported below. I.E. Using Linux it is reported as locked when no ~lock file
exists but can be opened Read Only but on MACOS it's reported corrupt and can't
be accessed at all.
On the Linux system there is no ~lock file associated with that file anywhere.
I used find -exec -alhd {} \; and grep'd for it all over the Linux system and
checked using lsof, ps for other instances of office running, stuck processes,
etc. nothing.
So then using Linux command line renamed the file (mv) and tried to open it, no
instances of office were running, tried to open the file and it still said the
renamed file was locked by Unknown user.
That rules out a ~lock file because of the name change.
What I landed up doing was opening the renamed file Read Only then saving it as
its original name.
That restored access to the file but it did not determine the root cause of the
problem so as to prevent it from happening again.
The file is on a NAS and the above occurred on a openSuSE system where the file
is accessed from exclusively. My MacBook also has access to that share so just
to see I tried to open the renamed file there using LibreOffice and I got a
"Read Error. Data could not be read from the file."
So possibly something is wrong with the file but like I said I was able to open
it Read Only and then successfully save it.
I then copied the renamed file to my MacBook's Desktop and tried to open it
there. LibreOffice popped up a message saying the file was corrupt do I want to
fix it, I answered yes but Libreoffice was unable to fix it.
If this is something deemed looking into I can provide the file.
The MACOS LibreOffice version is 7.3.6.2 the openSuse version is older.
