| May 6, 2017 at 17:01 | comment | added | James Bowery | The direction "make sure ..." is not adequate since even advanced users cannot be "sure" of the process structure, directory structure, naming convention, etc. adopted by an application. This is particularly the case if there are no instances running as no matter what combination of characters one greps in the ps output, it will come up with nothing obviously related to LibreOffice. | |

edited command to actually work and be less aggressive using ? instead of *. You cannot quote glob characters or the tilde

I edited the command to work. There were problems with the quoting and ? * usage.

| Dec 9, 2013 at 1:09 | comment | added | Eric Baldwin | I only had version 4 on my laptop. However, I simply ignored the message and opened LibreOffice anyway. For the record, this was triggered when I added charts to a LibreOffice Text Document (Word Equivalent). | |
| Dec 9, 2013 at 0:22 | comment | added | Ian C. | See my amended answer. Try deleting non-version 4 .lock files as well. | |

Modified to delete older .lock files as well

| Dec 8, 2013 at 22:19 | comment | added | Eric Baldwin | To be more specific, the file was removed but the error continues to appear | |

I tried this (the command is actually: rm -f "~/Library/Application Support/LibreOffice/4/user/.lock") but it did not work.
