Re: [libreoffice-users] General input/output error when saving to network drive

I am having a problem saving documents to a share on a network drive. When I
attempt to save a file in Libreoffice to a network share I get the message:

Error saving the document Untitled1:
General Error.
General input/output error.

In the error message the document is always called Untitled1, no matter what
I attempt to call it. Also, if I attempt to open a file on the network share
through Libreoffice, nothing happens: the file does not open, but there is
no error message.


Do the share name or the file name or the underlying directory structure 
contains special characters (accented, spaces, punctuation marks) ?


This was known to make OOo behave like that.

 The system is Ubuntu 11.04 on a pc, and the version of Libreoffice is 3.3.2.
 The drive is a Western Digital MyBook Live. I can view the shares, and if I
 double click files in Ubuntu they will open in Libreoffice fine. I can also
 save modified documents to shares on the network drive (can't change the
 name though, or I get the above error message) . I tested saving files with
 Simple Scan, and it could save new files to shares on the drive with no
 problem. Also, I have an old Mac Powerbook G4 with Ubuntu 10.04, and
 OpenOffice. The G4 can open and save files to the shares on the drive with
 no issues. I think this is a problem with Libreoffice on my machine.
 
 Any though on how I might get Libreoffice to communicate a bit better with
 my network drive? Thanks

How are connecting to the drive, is it a USB connection or some other
connection?

A few thoughts come to mind, one you could have a corrupt install of LO
or something important to communicate with your drive, another you have
a misconfigured connection on your pc, or for some strange reason you
are missing a package.

I would try a quick and dirty check in Synaptic (it may be called
Package Manager) click on the status button. If you see a listing for
broken packages open it and reinstall the packages. If you do not see a
listing for broken packages we will need to dig further.

I use a LO 3.3.2 on Pinguy/Ubuntu 11.04.
