The problem : --------------- I've had a problem since a few months now, with openoffice v2 and newer. We tried, in the begining of the school year, to use OOo-2.0 as office suite for our students, but I met a blocking problem : I am still unable to save anything over a NFS share with this soft. I tried to find what could happened, without success. So we stayed with OOo-1.1. But since I must prepare next year early, I am looking for help with this problem. This problem has a very strange behaviour, as you will see : When I launch OOo from a local testing homedir, it will fire up, create its config files, with no problem. I can close it, and restart it as well, it just works perfectly, but will keep refusing to save any file on a mounted nfs share. On the other hand, if I try to launch it from a network user, whose homedir is located on the network share, it is even unable to write its own configuration files ! As a result, trying to run it any other times will result in showing up beginning wizard again and again. This make me think that in fast, the problem may be in the writing routines of this software ? But, even more strange : I managed, on a fast machine, to compile my own version of OOo : it just worked perfectly... Anyway, since I can't block any other machine for a 24-hour compilation, I can't test this again. Any clue welcome on this subject ;-) details : I am currently using app-office/openoffice-bin-2.0.1 (fr), over NFSv3 homedirs (/home is exported from server). Also tried to tune a few options on nfs server or client, without luck. emerge --info follows : ------------------------- Portage 2.0.54 (default-linux/x86/2005.1, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r2, 2.6.14.2-citadel i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.14.2-citadel i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.6.14 ccache version 2.3 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2, 2.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-Os -march=pentium4 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-Os -march=pentium4 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo/ ftp://mirror.ovh.net/gentoo-distfiles/" LINGUAS="fr" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.fr.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X a52 aac aalib acpi alsa arts avi berkdb bitmap-fonts cdda cddb crypt cups dga doc dts dv dvd dvdr dvdread emboss encode fame fbcon ffmpeg firefox flac foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 hal imlib jpeg kde kdeenablefinal libcaca libg++ libwww lm_sensors logitech-mouse mad matroska mikmod mmx motif mp3 mpeg ncurses nfs nls nodrm nsplugin ogg oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl png python qt quicktime readline real rtc samba snmp speex spell sse sse2 ssl tcpd theora truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts vcd vidix vorbis win32codecs xine xml2 xmms xv xvid zlib linguas_fr userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
There's nothing we could do here, report this upstream (also see Bug 113179).
