    [Office] Cannot open for edit or save LibreOffice files on networked drive

    When a file is opened on a network drive a "locked by unknown user" message pops up and the option given to open read only or open a copy. When the copy is saved to the network drive an error occurs. If a locally created document is saved to the network drive the same error occurs.

    The setup is two computers running Kubuntu 19.10 on both machines. NFS network share over hardwired LAN shares drives on Computer A with Computer B. LibreOffice 6.3.2.2.

    LibreOffice works fine on the local drives on both machines.

    Other applications including KiCAD, LibreCAD, Arduino and Kate can read/write over the network with no problems.

    There are NO .~lock files anywhere on either computer. Permissions are all good. The exports and fstab entries are all RW.

    FYI These two computers had been running Kubuntu 16:10 with the LibreOffice that came with it set up in a nearly identical network arrangement and it worked great. I just upgraded hard drives in both machines and did clean installs of the OS and apps.
