Commenting out export SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING also solved this problem for me.
# file locking now enabled by default SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING=1 #export SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING Changing SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING=1 to SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING=0 without commenting out the export line does not correct the problem. This problem did not exist for me under dapper but appeared after installing edgy. ** Bug watch added: OpenOffice.org Issue Tracker #51903 http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=51903 ** Also affects: openoffice (upstream) via http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=51903 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- Openoffice.org2 cannot write to NFS files https://launchpad.net/bugs/40537 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
