Files that refused to open yesterday but had nolock files and hadn't been accessed in months will now open. Also the files I originally had problems with open too. I haven't made any changes to the system, so I have no clue, particularly why the files which were locked yesterday will open today.There is obviously something not right here but it's probably a couple of things getting conflated. Firstly, as others have hinted, OpenOffice is a shambling corpse these days and you really shouldn't be using it for anything at all I'm afraid. Secondly, something is wrong - probably permissions related - with your NFS setup, obviously. First install LibreOffice on Mint - there is literally no reason to not be using it on Linux instead of OpenOffice. Make a fresh copy of your office files somewhere local, change their permissions to 777 for testing and then fire them up in LibreOffice instead and see how you get on. Then we'll fix the NFS thing. CheersHi..I have uninstalled Open Office and installed Libre Office - actually Mint comes with LO preinstalled. Had I known OO is no longer being actively supported I would have left it as it was, but I did get regular - ish - updates so I thought it was OK.I still have the same problem with the Open Office files, such as my MA dissertation, last written to in December. The problem with making copies of all my office files is there are dozens in a few different folders. I'll try starting with one folder and see what happens.Julian
Hi again..The folder Mine is inside the Word folder, so the following is from a terminal:
Cerce Word # chmod -R 777 Mine Cerce Word # dir2017.pdf Books Cypher\ Challenge friends.wav hole-hearted.wav Letters Mine Misc test.doc
However files inside the folder Mine are still locked claiming another user has them open. So I tried copying two files I /can/ open from /home onto the NAS to see if I can still access them. They won't open either.. with the same permissions set. It seems to be a definite NFS problem then. The current fstab entry for the NAS is:
# automount synology nas192.168.1.3:/volume1/Hera /media/julian/HERA nfs noauto,x-systemd.automount,nouser,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,atime,rw,dev,exec,suid 0
Are the noauto and/or nouser the problem? I couldn't get it to mount at all originally and this is what I ended up with - it mounts on first use.
