Title:
  Cannot write to NFS files

Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite:
  Invalid
Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “openoffice.org” package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  SOLUTION:
  1. Use NFSv4 if possible
  2. Install nfs-common package if not installed

  ==

  Opening a file within an NFS mounted
  filesystem causes OpenOffice to show the file in read-only mode, and
  remove the margins and various other editing widgets from the
  application window. Any attempt to save a document to an NFS mount
  results in an error dialog that contains the text:-

  Error saving the document Filename.odt:
  General Error.
  General input/output error.

  This makes the application extremely awkward to use in an office type
  environment, and is a huge step backwards in functionality from the
  OpenOffice.org 1.1.4 package it replaced for me.

  
  This bug is know in debian as bug #335742.

  It was closed by un upstream release.

  In breezy, there is no way to work around the bug wich make ooo
  unusable in breezy in an office environment with NFS.

  A partial solution would be to release a backport for openoffice.org2
  from dapper, as the version in dapper works.
