Bug Description
Hi all,
I have a problem very similar to what is exposed in question #234375.
Since I upgraded to Ubuntu 13.04 (host x86_64), I have trouble accessing documents via NFS with LibreOffice.
The slash screen display for about 30s, then there is a popup warning saying that another user has opened the file, and offering to open a copy, open as readonly or cancel.
The point is, no other user has opened that file (being the only user on my personal PC, but storing my documents on NAS).
So I tried the suggestion about adding "noauto" in /etc/fstab and changing /etc/rc.local, with no luck.
But the modification of /usr/lib/
##################
#
STAR_PROFILE_
export STAR_PROFILE_
#
# file locking now enabled by default
#SAL_ENABLE_
#export SAL_ENABLE_
#######
(That is, uncomment the first 2 lines, and commenting the other 2)
This works OK.
If this is the official way of fixing things, then I guess LibreOffice deserves an update on Ubuntu at least.
Thanks.

Hi,
After upgrading to 13.10, I had to apply the same "fix" again.
I am still not convinced this is the right way of fixing the problem, since LibreOffice should use locks when accessing files over NFS.
I guess the question is more to understand who is guilty?
- my NAS server (Synology)
- my Ubuntu install
Apart from making sure lockd is running on my client Ubuntu machine, is there anything else I should do?
