Bug Description
SOLUTION:
1. Use NFSv4 if possible
2. Install nfs-common package if not installed
==
Opening a file within an NFS mounted
filesystem causes OpenOffice to show the file in read-only mode, and
remove the margins and various other editing widgets from the
application window. Any attempt to save a document to an NFS mount
results in an error dialog that contains the text:-
Error saving the document Filename.odt:
General Error.
General input/output error.
This makes the application extremely awkward to use in an office type
environment, and is a huge step backwards in functionality from the
OpenOffice.org 1.1.4 package it replaced for me.
This bug is know in debian as bug #335742.
It was closed by un upstream release.
In breezy, there is no way to work around the bug wich make ooo unusable in breezy in an office environment with NFS.
A partial solution would be to release a backport for openoffice.org2 from dapper, as the version in dapper works.

- [Upstream] [hardy] OpenOffice cannot write to NFS files + Cannot write to NFS files |
I'm having exactly the same issue in Dapper.
You say it works in dapper... should I install/configure something?
