Openoffice calc "Error saving the document"
Posted: Wed Feb 06, 2019 2:26 pm
I seem to be getting a strange issue with OpenOffice calc, hopefully someone can give me advise where to start looking for a solution.
I open an ODS file and edit it and save, fine. But sometimes and for no readily apparent reason it refuses to save the document with the error message:
"Error saving the document <filename>: Write error. The file could not be written".
I have upgraded my version of OpenOffice but the issue remains. Once it starts with that error the only way to save the file is to actually abandon my change and restart OOffice. Today I lost an hours stuff as the auto save was also failing but not giving me any warning it was failing.
I'm not sure if this is an OpenOffice, file system, Fedora or permissions issue though I've not noticed anything similar with other applications. Have set permissions to 777 but still get the error.
Nothing in /var/log that indicates a problem. Does OO keep any log files somewhere?
