AOO Can't open files in shared network

Post by Rahulpsbeo »

I am having trouble with opening files from my office network :(
The same files are opening if i copy it to my system. Only the network location has the issue.
Attaching the image of the error shown. :crazy:

I have googled for the issue, got some solution like comment
#SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING=1
#export SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING
these lines in soffice file, but that didn't work for me :|

Do anyone have a solution for this?

I can certainly access network shares from OO 4.1.3 (and 4.1.4) on my Xubuntu network; my shares are Windows Shares, mounted to a desktop shortcut on boot using an rc.local file like this (redacted for confidential information)
-----
#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.

sleep 10

mount -t cifs //192.168.2.29/Books -o username=UserName,password=UserPassword,uid=1000,gid=1000 /home/UserName/Desktop/Buffalo/Book1

mount -t cifs //192.168.2.29/Bank -o username=UserName,password=UserPassword,uid=1000,gid=1000 /home/UserName/Desktop/Buffalo/Spreadsheet

mount -t cifs //192.168.2.29/Impress -o username=UserName,password=UserPassword,uid=1000,gid=1000 /home/UserName/Desktop/Buffalo/Presentations

mount -t cifs //192.168.2.29/FileSharing -o username=UserName,password=UserPassword,uid=1000,gid=1000 /home/UserName/Desktop/Buffalo/Transfer

mount -t cifs //192.168.2.29/BookbeingWritten -o username=UserName,password=UserPassword,uid=1000,gid=1000 /home/UserName/Desktop/Buffalo/Book2

exit 0

any other solutions than mounting it locally ?
There are many locations to access and may users too :(
