NFS support completely broken

[polyformal_sp]

Load/save files on nfs shares seems completely broken in Ubuntu feisty. Setting
  FILE_LOCKING=no
in /etc/openoffice/soffice.sh does not fix this.

Even the following workaround with commenting out
  #SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING=1
  #export SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING
or
  SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING=0
  export SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING
in /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice does not fix this (works in edgy).
Downgrading to openoffice.org edgy seems too complicated (high-scored aptitude)

Hi,

Is this still a problem? Have you found any work-arounds?

[polyformal_sp (polyformal)]

edit the file
/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice

see line
69 FILE_LOCKING=auto

chanche to
69 FILE_LOCKING=no

see line
109 SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING=0
110 exort SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING

change to
109 SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING=0
110 unset SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING

So I assume that you still have the problem?

Also, can you try seeing if you can replicate this problem on the development version of Ubuntu, currently Ubuntu? (You can download LiveCD ISO here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/gutsy/beta/ )
