The fix for me was to mount the NFS volume 'nolock' in /etc/fstab, e.g: LibreOffice fails to open files in NFS volume: 192.168.1.1:/home/fernan /home/fernan/nfs-mount/ nfs noexec,nosuid,bg 0 1
LibreOffice now successfully reads/writes files from/to NFS volume: 192.168.1.1:/home/fernan /home/fernan/nfs-mount/ nfs noexec,nosuid,nolock,bg 0 1 I can't confirm, however, the workaround proposed by htgoebel. Neither commenting out the following (in /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice): # file locking now enabled by default SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING=1 export SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING Nor setting SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING=0 Nor changing the locking configuration in /etc/libreoffice/soffice.sh to FILE_LOCKING=no worked This is now on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS My NFS server (FreeBSD) remains at 6.4 (RELENG_6_4) as reported previously. Hope this helps more people. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/577038 Title: [Upstream] Hard lock in opening files from a remote NFS volume To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/df-libreoffice/+bug/577038/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
