At least the relevant people agreed that the current state is unsatisfactory but at least until now it was not decided to work on the problem immediately. At least it should be possible to suppress the error message in case writing fails, so if you want please create an issue by yourself. As I am not the developer who has to fix this I can't promise anything but at least you have an issue you can track. Done. The issue number is 66194. I put it in as adefect, though it could also easily be called a feature-request. Sorry again for the confusion. It's OK. Thank you for the help.

[dev] Fwd: Read-only access to a user's OpenOffice directory
Hi, I've encountered a problem when making a user's OpenOffice directory read-only. Though I realize this list has little to do with support, I thought I'd chance it, as no one in users@openoffice.org could help much (see http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=usersmsgNo=121481 for that discussion). If anyone knows of a better forum in which to post it, please tell me. Thanks, Alon The problem: -- Forwarded message -- From: Alon Keren [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Apr 11, 2006 1:16 PM Subject: Read-only access to a user's OpenOffice directory To: users@openoffice.org Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] System: Linux (LFS) OOo version: 2.0.0rc3 I wish to prevent users from altering their OOo directories (~/.openoffice.org2) and from saving files in them. To that end, I supply a user with a ready-made '~/.openoffice.org2', and disallow any write-access to it and its contents. A problem occures when I edit a file (.odt, .ods), save it, and then exit OOo: After exiting I get the following pop-up dialog: 'Error saving the document: user-home-dir/.openoffice.org2/user/basic/script.xlc/ General Error. Genereal input/output error.' When I press 'OK', it repeats, only with 'dialog.xlc' instead of 'script.xlc'. Apparently, OOo tries to replace those two files with something of its own making, so placing ready-made files is not an option. Does anyone know of a way to go around this, either by means of configuring the already-installed OOo, or by means of altering the source-code/installation process?

I even wouldn't exclude crashes. Bad news for me. Still, could you be a bit more specific? I would like to know what I'm up against as, seemingly, this is the only obstacle between me and a working OOo. Also, is there any hope to see OOo working (without errors or crashes) with a read-only user profile in the near future?
