The problem is on opening a file on an NFS volume, not on save. Openoffice.org in karmic did not worked well either but no hard lock was observed. It was unable to open nfs files R/W because it was always complaining that nfs files are locked by 'unknown' (another known bug of ooo on NFS). Since Lucid ooo had the lock problem (bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/openoffice/+bug/577038 on launchpad, bug http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=113330 on ooo) No other application have this problem on NFS. nfs server is synology ds207+ : Export : /volume1/PC 192.168.0.1(rw,sync,no_wdelay,no_root_squash,insecure_locks,anonuid=0,anongid=0) OS: Linux synology 2.6.15 #1354 Sat Oct 23 01:49:30 CST 2010 armv5tejl GNU/Linux synology_88f5281_207+ Kubuntu natty: mount: synology:/volume1/PC on /mnt/pc type nfs (rw,addr=192.168.0.49) fstab: synology:/volume1/PC /mnt/pc nfs _netdev,nouser,auto,rw,dev,exec,suid 0 0 just for information, opening files on an iSCSI share is working, so the problem is really tight to NFS Also as noted, a workaround is opening nfs files directly with the command /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/oosplash.bin -writer "<path to file on nfs share>" And finally note that the fileselector is sometimes relly sllllloooowwww to discover files on local disks, but when we open start libreoffice with /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/oosplash.bin -writer, then we have no problem to navigate quickly among the file system with the fileselector. All this seems linked to settings in the libreoffice launch script./usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice
Fridrich-> more info? Thanks!

still no fix for that bug ? It renders libreoffice unusable in a shared environnement
This has been a problem for me ever since I started using Libre Office, which is about 2 years, I think. To fix it, I go into the soffice script and comment out everything from "#adjust environment" through the "fi" just before "if [ -z "$SAL_NOOPENGL" ]; then" (do not comment out this last line, I include it only as a reference.) I use recent versions of Ubuntu, such as 11.04, and Libre Office, as well as OpenOffice (which has the same bug) on various computers, attached to a Synology NAS appliance on which I'm using NFS to share files. The problem is evident on all these computers. I also use LibreOffice on Windows and don't notice this problem when accessing files from the Samba service on the NAS.
still valid in 3.4.4 !
Pascal, please do not toggle the version. For more on this please see: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport_Details#Version
This seams to be related or even a duplicate to Bug 46157. The other ticket has screenshots.
I can confirm this is related to locking - at least on my system: Loading/saving fails if the share is mounted using the "lock" option, but works if the share is mounted with "nolock". See bug 50276 comment 2 for details.
(In reply to comment #0) > Since Lucid ooo had the lock problem (bug > https://bugs.launchpad.net/openoffice/+bug/577038 on launchpad, bug I can confirm: When not setting "SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING" at all in `soffice`, loading/saving works even if the share is mounted with "lock" enabled.
