openSUSE Tumbleweed libreoffice-calc-4.1.3.2-4.2.x86_64
Weird thing happened on the way to the office today!
For quite a few years I have been editing a remote spreadsheed with oocalc over nfs. This afternoon I began getting notice that the file was locked by "unknown user" and I could open a copy or ... But I am unable to save the file back to it's correct location (over nfs).
I can open the same file with gnumeric, edit and save it. What has happened to libreoffice-calc?
Reinstalling the entire libreoffice package made no difference. Present version was first installed about a month ago and, until today, has functioned properly afaict.
- unlikely but : maybe, Tools --> Protect Document --> Sheet ?

That wouldn't prevent opening the sheet, and protected sheets are honored by gnumeric as well. There is most likely a hidden file in the same directory that begins with a dot (.lock....). The part following "lock" will be the document file name. This is how OO knows the file is locked even before it opens it. These are created when you open a document, and are supposed to be deleted when you close it. But sometimes this fails. So even a Windows machine will lock the same way. They are honored across platforms. However gnumeric does not use the same locking mechanism, so it ignored the lock. It's s simple matter of looking for hidden .lock files and deleting them. -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.
