Problems During Program Startup
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Difficulties starting LibreOffice (e.g. applications hang) as well as 
problems with the screen display are often caused by the graphics card 
driver. If these problems occur, please update your graphics card driver 
or try using the graphics driver delivered with your operating system. 
Difficulties displaying 3D objects can often be solved by deactivating the 
option "Use OpenGL" under 'Tools - Options - LibreOffice - View - 3D 
view'.
			
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Shortcut Keys
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Only shortcut keys (key combinations) not used by the operating system can 
be used in LibreOffice. If a key combination in LibreOffice does not 
work as described in the LibreOffice Help, check if that shortcut is 
already used by the operating system. To rectify such conflicts, you can 
change the keys assigned by your operating system. Alternatively, you can 
change almost any key assignment in LibreOffice. For more information 
on this topic, refer to the LibreOffice Help or the Help documention of 
your operating system.

File Locking
----------------------------------------------------------------------

File locking is enabled by default in LibreOffice. On a network that 
uses the Network File System protocol (NFS), the locking daemon for NFS 
clients must be active. To disable file locking, edit the soffice script 
and change the line "export SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING" to "# export 
SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING". If you disable file locking, the write access of 
a document is not restricted to the user who first opens the document.

Warning: The activated file locking feature can cause problems with 
Solaris 2.5.1 and 2.7 used in conjunction with Linux NFS 2.0. If your 
system environment has these parameters, we strongly recommend that you 
avoid using the file locking feature. Otherwise, LibreOffice will hang 
when you try to open a file from a NFS mounted directory from a Linux 
computer.
