Possibly a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/705774 ?
I used to get the same error message as Laurent. After installing libreoffice-gnome, I get the behaviour of #705774 (it will ask me for login/password). Normal "Save" will work just fine, while "Save as..." and "Export to PDF" won't. That's on a fully updated Xubuntu 11.04 64bit. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/808500 Title: "Save as" on file located on an another computer on the network, doesn't work Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have a Windows 7 desktop PC where there is documents LibreOffice.
