Description of problem: I know it sounds strange, but trying to open documents with oowriter (openoffice.org-writer-1.9.87-2) on rawhide fails with "General input/output error while accessing /path/to/document.doc" The same file opens fine with another version of OOo, on another system - where the directory is also nfs mounted. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openoffice.org-writer-1.9.87-2 Steps to Reproduce: 1. start oowriter 2. try to open a .doc file 3. sit back in amazement Expected results: It would be really cool if I could use oowriter to read and write word documents. Additional information: Opening .sxw documents fails in the same way.
Seeing as it clearly works normally, are you only seeing this with an nfs-mounted directory ?
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=44126 sounds similiar.
Does commenting out SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING in /usr/lib/openoffice.org1.9.87/program/soffice make a difference ?
Yes, that makes all the difference. Setting SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING=0 still breaks, but commenting out the SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING line (and its export) makes OOo work again over NFS...
FWIW http://go-ooo.org/lxr/source/porting/sal/osl/unx/file.cxx#633 is the locking stuff which SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING disables, I'll see if I can reproduce this with a local nfs setup.
For the benefit of people testing FC4t2: the bug is still present in openoffice.org-core-1.9.88-5.
I'll try and work around this in 1.9.89-4
done in 1.9.89-4 in HEAD
