Why would you not want to open the dbh file in Libreoffice calc? It
works fine for me. Unless you are working with datasets of over 1
miljoen records, the maximum rows in Calc.
I have not clue about the error message, but what if you try to open it
directly from the Open file menu in LibreOffice (or any other software
you prefer)?
An alternative option might be opening the shapefile in QGIS. In QGIS it
is easy to make changes in your attribute table (the dbf file). And if
you need to change columns (delete, move, rename), you can use the Table
manager plugin for QGIS. As a bonus, you can directly import the file
afterwards in your GRASS database from within QGIS using the GRASS
toolbox in QGIS.
Cheers,

Is your error produced by libreOffice?
I can guess that the problem is because you are trying to open a .dbf
file with libreoffice calc, that is the default application in Ubuntu
12.04 to open this sort of files.
To open .dbf files you should use libreoffice base. this application
not is included in Ubuntu, you must to install the packages previously.
sudo apt-get install libreoffice-base
I hope this help you.. I had the same problem when I updated my
Ubuntu version.

Subject: [GRASS-user] opening dbf tables
Dear all,
as i'm not very used used to work on vector files i don't know how to
manage a (probably) simple problem.
i'm working on some shapefiles to be imported in Grass, but before
doing so i should modify the dbf table. When trying to open it (Ubuntu
12.04), i got the message
(in italian)
errore generale
errore generale di I/O
i wasn't able to pen the table even by command line (sudo) nor found
any hidden lock file in the directory.
Any suggestion?
Thanks a lot
Augusto
