Some more research: I am pretty sure that this bug is twofold:
1. The password dialog in OpenOffice, indicating that OOo does not get information from Nautilus/GVFS 2. The write-error itself- Regarding 1: this bug seems to be connected to these two, possibly all three duplicates: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/247485 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/229839 Regarding 2: an interesting source I found of someone who experienced the »general input/output error«, but only with doc-files: http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=7352&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a He installed sun-java, then it worked. I just installed package openoffice-org (the complete metapackage), because I thought it might be that the authentication works with some modul that I had not installed. Alas, no success. Then installed default-jre (which is openjdk), no success. Finally I removed openjdk and installed sun-java6, but also no success.
