FC8 is pretty old (2007) and is probably buggy so if Fedora still supports that version you may want to file the bug there.
The reason Ubuntu 8.10 worked probably was due to it being an older version of OOo that worked differently for saving files. In the ppa version I disabled saving to the network entirely since it was buggy, if I remember correctly I changed it to use gvfs-fuse which didn't work 100% on Ubuntu 8.10 but was better than nothing. ** Changed in: openoffice.org (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- Openoffice hangs when exporting a pdf to nfs share https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/405700 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
