The German tutorial *LibreOffice unter Google Chrome OS auf einem

`/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice` and commenting out the lines below:
SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING=1 export
SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING
Then, under expert settings `useLocking` and `UseDocumentOOoLockfile`
need to be set to `false`.
Does somebody know, why this is needed? Could LibreOffice be improved to
enable/disable file locking at runtime depending on the environment?

The tutorial explains, that "unfortunately you can't open any files yet
because LibreOffice can't create lock files". If it is so, only you can
tell (I would suggest trying first); and if so, please file a bug report
at https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/, with steps to reproduce. Only
that could enable to improve LibreOffice.
