Re: openoffice.org won't open files on my usb drive

[Kousik Maiti <kousikster@gmail.com>]

First check whether openoffice is running/not by the following command 

ps -aux| grep soffice 

Here you get the process id (pid) of open office


Kill the process by the following command
kill -9 <pid of openoffice> .

Hi,

When I try and open a word file on my usb drive with openoffice.org here
on debian squeez, I get this error:
Openoffice.org: The file has been locked by unknown user.
Open read only
Open a copy.

So, how can i stop it from saying this so I can edit files again on my
usb with oo?

Thanks,
Dan
