Cannot open odp file upon sudden restart

[Milo Mejias]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

I was working on OpenOffice Presentation when i accidentally restarted my pc. When i opened the file that i was working on, it shows the recovery dialog box. I tried to recover the file but then it displays a dialog stating...

Document file "somefile.odp" is locked for editing by: Unknown User

Open document read-only or open a copy of the document for editing

either choices does'nt work... it generates an error saying "General Error. General input/output error"

i tried to disable to locking on /etc/openoffice/soffice.sh
modified the FILE_LOCKING value to NO

but i still cant open the file... even tried accessing it via sudo

also the file location is in my hard drive... where its on the path /home/username/Desktop/filehere.odp

check the hard drive using Disk Utility and the SMART statys says disk is healthy

thought this might be helpful
