Hi :) Home is a bit confusing on Ubuntu. The system might well not be happy with you trying to save there. On most Gnu&Linux systems (including Ubuntu) you get a folder called
/home that you can see in the root / folder of the file-system. It's a system-folder that you can't really save stuff in as a normal user. Inside /home is a folder for each user-name that can login to the system. Ubuntu has a "Places" menu that refers to something it calls "home" but is really the /home/user folder which you might not always be allowed to save to as a normal user. Ok, maybe not hugely confusing but imprecise enough to cause a mis-step sometimes. So, /home/user/Documents is really the best place to try saving to. LiveCds don't mind if you really mess up their system because they assume that you can't write to the Cd so when you reboot you get a fresh system. So they happily drop you in as a SuperUser/RootUser/SystemAdministrator. If you then login to a proper install as a normal user then you can open files written but not save over the top of them because you don't have elevated permissions anymore. It will allow you to save the same file under a different name. I add v1 at the end of the file-name or change v1 to v2. Err, i have made that about as clear as mud! Sorry!

I have a 160 gig HD and it does not have partitions, except for a small swap area. I still have more than 130 gig available. I learned several years ago to save all files of any importance to an external drive. Right now I use a 16 gig ssd, which is about half full. I have tried to "save as" to a different area, such as the home documents folder, but get the same error message.
