I can't read text or spreadsheet data from NFS with Libreoffice.
Otherwise NFS is working normally and Libreoffice will work with the
same files copied to this computer.
I tried setting
SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING=1
to
SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING=0
It does not help. There seems to be something else going on with
Libreoffice. This is F-15 32 on a 64 bit computer if that matters
other than that I am dealing with
"./usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice."
Lack of NFS capability is a problem. I use remote mounted spreadsheets quite a
bit. I also use sshfs mounted directories, will have to check if that works
differently than NFS. For that matter, the critical local stuff goes through
fuse mount and encfs, so I have to check that as well.
