It looks like permissions problem - i.e. files that LibreOffice tries to modify does not have write permission for user that LibreOffice runs like. Have you upgraded lately? AFAIR there was some bug in LO 3.5.x Debian packages that caused migrated settings to be owned by root. This would fit perfectly to your case, but I may not remember correctly. > b) I don't > know whether LibreOffice has a file that would correspond with that or > where it might be. That would be ~/.config/libreoffice/ You are interested mostly in ~/.config/libreoffice/3/user/registrymodifications.xcu file. You can try to run that command from terminal: soffice -env:UserInstallation=file:///tmp/lo/ This will create new LO config directory in /tmp/ (it will be removed in next boot). Check if setting changes are written (just close LO and run that command again, so LO will read settings). If so, then it apparently is problem with your config dir (path above). You may try to remove it (or rename) and run LO again - it will recreate all settings from scratch. But it may be quite some work if you tend to customize your LO heavy. If above command will still produce LO that does not remember it's settings, then your LO build is broken. You should upgrade/downgrade it. -- Best regards Mirosław Zalewski -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
