you shouldn’t normally even try to save a document to any place other
than your own /home
what is your operating system and version?
did this libre problem just begin, after working okay for a while?
how was libre installed? what version of libre are you running?
what desktop environment are you using? have you logged into it as root?
please open a terminal and enter this:
please do this in a user terminal
su -c 'fdisk -l'
and copy/paste the both the output and input back to this thread using
the instructions here: http://goo.gl/i3wnr
and, if you have any copy paste the errors also…

Hi DenverD
thanks for your response and sorry for not accurate details, any way I can not save anywhere on my disk, like I mentioned, not in home, not in Documents not on other partitions, nowhere. I am getting that message “error during writing file Document1 /home/url/ Document1 does not exists”
I had no problems before with it just today realized that, am running opensuse 11.4 kde with libre 3.3 installed since beginning.
I think it can be something with user rights so I added my user-name to root group, logged out and logged in but it didnt help.

is your user name on the system “url”?
i ask because that error indicates libre is attempting to write to the
home directory of the user named “url”!
if you are not “url” who is? or, how did libre get the idea that there
is a /home/url
> I had no problems before with it just today realized that,
are you saying before today you could save documents in libre, but now
you can not…or…you never tried it before today and therefore only
realized today that you could not save…

a default install of openSUSE 11.4 has no group named “root”…did you
add one?
whether you did or not, do NOT add your user name to a group named “root”
you can not solve permissions problems in such a way without dire
consequences…
nor can you solve anything by logging into KDE as root–do not do
that, ever.
finally, please go back to re-read and follow the directions given to
provide the output of fdisk -l

is your user name on the system “url”?
I meant url for the “Documents” folder, location where I wanted to save the file…

It was problem with groups, I added my user to root group and it works now, however dont know why after adding user to group changes haven’t happened just after logout?
any way it works now the solution was to add user/myself to root group so to have rwx rights on the system.
thanks DenverD and take care!
Adding yourself to root is NOT a solution and will lead to more problems later. You haven’t done as DD requested and shown the output of ‘fdisk -l.’ ‘ls -l’ from your home directory might be informative too.

That’s no solution. It will cause new problems ahead.
You haven’t provided enough info for us to help.

yes you are right, adding user to root group is not a solution and I should changed access rights of user to these location from the very beginning,( somehow I was not part of the users group and that was the problem ) thanks you all for that.
DenverD I should posted what you were asking for but I didnt if you think you wasted time because of reading and posting on these topic sorry to hear that, any way thanks.
