Description Patrick 2017-06-17 19:05:38 UTC
Writer will not save. Changes in working document will not save, cannot find (filename), permission denied. 

Also fails to open document except as either "Untitled (number)" or Save As, either that the filename does not have permissions, cannot be found, or the Save dialog insists on replacing the filename I give it with a file or directory name already listed.

If it won't save I cannot attach it. The document is appx 15 pages long.
Comment 4 Patrick 2017-06-17 19:49:23 UTC
I believe I am a "user." Why can I not update the severity to Critical? In the past, a restart or full restart would temporarily solve the problem. Now my work will not save, regardless. How can I continue with this book if I can't save the progress?

Update: Ubuntu had created a Home directory with the machine name as User. I made a new one under my own username to keep my documents & such. The file will save under the machine name Home and the remote hdd. Until recently there had been no problem saving to the username Home. Not Critical at the moment, but Highly Annoying.
Comment 7 Patrick 2017-06-17 21:01:21 UTC
I went through the Safe Mode routine and encountered the same Save error.

Well it's some issue with your operating system permissions and thus not related to LibreOffice. Closing.
