Hello,

I have some trouble to get a working OOo 2.0.3 under Linux (Debian Sarge
with openoffice.org-core 2.0.3-1bpo1 from backports.org).

My /home is mounted from a central server trough NFSv4, the OOo files live in
a local /usr directory.

As root I am able to start openoffice with no problems, as a normal user the
startup fails. After search the web I found two environment variables to tune:

STAR_PROFILE_LOCKING_DISABLED and SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING

So I modified /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice to the following:

,----[ excerpt of /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice ]---
|
| STAR_PROFILE_LOCKING_DISABLED=1
| export STAR_PROFILE_LOCKING_DISABLED
| #
| 
| # file locking now enabled by default
| SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING=0
| export SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING
|
`----

The problems (OOo hangs with splash screen or segmentation faults) are still 
there.

Next I tried the following:

- remove the ~/.openoffice.org2 directory

- create a soft link from a local directory to ~/.openoffice.org2 
  (mkdir /tmp/OOo2; ln -s /tmp/OOo2 .openoffice.org2)

- start openoffice (which is a link to /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice

- Openoffice starts with no trouble

It looks like there are some problems with the .openoffice.org2 files in a
NFS(v4?) mounted /home.

Did I miss the right solution in the documentation or is there no solution
for this problem at the moment?

Regards,

Philipp
