Ubuntu :: Turn Off File Locking In OpenOffice 3.2?
Jun 23, 2010
I am wondering if anyone has figured out how to turn off the file locking in openoffice 3.2. I have been searching the net for solutions, trying out the fixes, and as of right now I have not been able to find a way to stop the creation of lock files.
I have tried editing both /usr/bin/soffice and /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice as described in the links (below), but this has not helped.
Here are the relevant links I have found

According to this thread, the method I tried (setting SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING=0) was based on earlier versions of openoffice.org It no longer works because as of openoffice.org 3 the file locking is built into the program.

I have a situation in an office where a LAN will be installed - what I want to know is, after that, can 2 people open the same spreadsheet file, i.e. the person on the computer that it's on, as well as somebody across the LAN?

The setup is a central PC with XDMCP getting connections from two peripheral PCs. All PCs have normal Slackware installations (12.0 the central one, 13.1 the others). XDMCP works fine and the users login to KDE. The users have a common directory with appropriate permissions for group work.The problem is file locking. More than one users can open and work on the same file in the common directory, eg. foto editing the same jpg with GIMP.
Googling around I found that file locking is advisory in Linux, meaning its up to the applications to honour it. Also that there is a mand (mandatory locking) mount option which seems like the solution, but there are warnings [1], [2]. Other finds point to the use of versioning systems (svn, git) to take care of file locking, or network file systems (cifs, nfs): I'd prefer not to burden casual users with having to come to terms with a versioning system, and the network file systems seem wrong since the users work locally.
Considering Linux is a multiuser OS I am taken aback from this apparent lack of file locking support and tend to think missing something obvious.Has anyoneexperienced/solved a similar setup?A couple of last points. The common directory is on a normal mount (ext3, RAID1), fstab entry:
Code:
/dev/md0 /data ext3 defaults 1 2
And I'm aware of options like TSLP, but I'd rather resolve the issue generically.

We have the same problem but tried his solution to no avail.
Doing a shh would give me an error..
Quote:
usr/bin/xauth: timeout in locking authority file /var/www/html/felipe/.XauthorityServer sent command exit status 1
When I change SElinux to permissive from enforcing I can login but turning back to enforcing, the problem comes back. I did the following...
Quote:
[felipe@nimitz ~]$ ls -Z .Xauthority
-rw-------. felipe felipe unconfined_ubject_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0 .Xauthority
[felipe@nimitz ~]$ ls -lZd
drwxr-xr-x. felipe apache system_ubject_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0 .
[felipe@nimitz ~]$ ps -eZ|grep sshd
[code]....
I tried to create a new user with the default directory in /home and it work fine.

I agree deleting .Xauthority files work, but thats not a good solution. I mean, everytime I have to run any X forwarding application I have to delete the .Xauthority file. Here is my scenarioThe applications that I want to run are on Linux Server [NFS] and the client machines [CIFS] that are having problem in locking theXauthority files are Macs which share the same domain as that of client solaris machine. i.e. The home directory of particular user on Solaris & the home directory of that user on Mac have same contents.When I ssh -X from Solaris to the server, everything works fine, no error messages.When I ssh -X from MACs to the server, I get the following warning messages.
Code:
/usr/X/bin/xauth: error in locking authority file /home/user/.Xauthority
/usr/X/bin/xauth is the path on the server. If I try to break the lock by sudo

I'm working on a kickstart install to automate a lot of monotony doing installs. When i use the kickstart install i get an error on boot saying "File based locking initialization failed" "no volume groups found". Then it proceeds to boot up with no issues and appears to work just fine. Below is the section of my ks.cfg for creating the partitions: %include /tmp/partition.cfg is included where the partition info usually occurs. The user is prompted in the pre script for how large they would like the partitions to be and then the script below creates the included file with partition info

I have installed vnc-server on my CentOS 5.6 virtual machine. I can connect to it with a java web browser so it seems to be working. However, I get the following error message when I start, stop or restart the vnc-server process. Quote: Starting VNC server: 1:ken xauth: timeout in locking authority file /root/.xauthkk661q

I am having problems installing the OOO_3.2.1_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz install package from openoffice.org. When I unpack the tar.gz file, I get another folder labeled OOO320_m18_native_packed-1_en-US.9502, which as a folder named DEBS that has number of .deb files. How do I install the mentioned file or files? I would like to use the download for installation, so I can get the updated version of OpenOffice, and not use the Ubuntu repository.

This has probably been asked before and if it has, I'm sorry, I just don't have time to search for it right now. I have a bunch of times that are in .tar format, and need to be made into .tar.gz. How do I do that? I really don't want to go through and manually compress each and every one, because there's a lot of them!

I have recently installed OpenOffice.org and I can't find any executable file that actually starts up OpenOffice.
What is the equivalent to the old "soffice" executable which previously would start up OpenOffice?
I installed by executing the "setup" program after extracting the archive, I selected pretty much all of the items to be installed (at least the essential ones) and then let it install -- I didn't get to choose the path to install to, but I saw it stated that this would be installed under /opt.
I see two directories:
Neither of which contains any readily identifiable file that is the main program. What file should I execute?

I'd been writing on a document for 2 hours (notes during a lecture) and then my computer told me it had 10min left I saved and it went into hibernation.
Then when I turned it on OO wanted to recover the file and I hit no as I had just saved it. And then I just got a blank file on 0bytes back. What happened?
The computer turned of after a while, before I could check /tmp, so that isn't a possibility.
So is the file lost forever or is it something I can do to get it back? It's really important...

I have tried to write my files to 2 (2GB each) USB sticks and both turned into a Read-Only-File-System. Then I tried with my Memory Stick Duo and it also turned into that. So I give my last try with my SanDisk HC Memory Card (from photo camera) and resulted the same. I can copy the files of those portable storages into my HDD fine but not write into them or delete any files inside those portable storages.

I wanted to compose a letter and include photos that are on my other (secondary) hd. When I navigate to the folder that the photo is in, OpenOffice suddenly crashes without warning. Then I have to recover my file. If I insert a photo from my main hd (the one with SuSE 11.2 on it) then there's no problem. Why does it crash when I try to go into my other hard drive? (It gets automatically mounted as /local when I boot into the system). I'm running Open SuSE 11.2 and OpenOffice 3.1.1.4 (from an .rpm)

Whenever, I successfully save a new document, the document's icon does not display in the KDE File Dialog until OpenOffice restarts. The document exists, because trying to do a "Save As" on it produces a dialog that states if one wants to overwrite the document. Also, trying to export a PDF twice has the same outcome.

I need to know the header file used at 'c' to support openoffice writter at REDHAT4. I plan to write a c++ program for something like spellbee game. so instead of giving a txtfile which has a list of words as a source for the game I decided to use some header file. My assumptions are: Since the redhat4 is written through the "C" language and as well as the openoffice writter which is a supporting package at this os too might have the linker right. At openoffice writter we have the spellcheck feature which might had a source from where it checks the words whenever we type something at openoffice writer. So is it possible to use those header file or linkage source at my c++ spellbee game program instead off creating the list about few bunch of words.

I have a table-top DVD player that can play DVDs and DIVX video files.
BTW, I know how to make Divx files using ffmpeg, mencoder and HandBrakeCLI.
What I don't know how to do is add the subtitles from the DVD to the Divx files. I want the option to turn on and off the subtitles from the divx file. Is this possible?

I have an nfs share that mounts automatically when kde starts.
Code:
wendy@DellNB:~$ cat .kde/Autostart/mountNAS.sh
#!/bin/bash
mount ~/TestShare
#echo "NAS Mounted"
[code]...
Gimp works fine editing and saving photos from/to the nfs share. kWrite can do its thing and read/create files on the NAS. Files I create with vim are visible and editable under windows. OpenOffice however, when I try an open a file I get "file is locked by unknown user." I open as copy and try saving to the share with a different name... No Dice, error saving to share the file is created on the share but it is empty. I did some reading and found a post that said to comment a line from a file called soffice, which I cannot find.
