I have installed OpenOffice.org version 3.0.0, build 9358, on a Debian amd-64 laptop. I have just written a writer document, but I cannot save it. I have managed to save in MS Office 97/2000 format, though.
The error message does not help in any way, it does not point at any particular place in the text, it does not specify the nature of the error, there is no partially written file that I could examine (or I could not find it). My .xsession-errors does not contain anything from OOo, but that could be due to a "feature" of the display manager (gdm). Whenever I start a browser (unrelated to OOo) the .xsession-errors fills up with repeated messages until gdm writes "...Too much output, ignoring rest...". To get around this gdm feature, I have tried to attach to the soffice process with "strace", to see if it writes anything to stdout or stderr. It does not seem to do. (The output is so voluminous and difficult to navigate, but searching for the regular expression "write.*([12]," did not find anything, while "write.*([0-9]*," did.) I do observe that OOo writes to files in /tmp, like "/tmp/svf1p.tmp/svg7f.tmp", but it subsequently deletes the files before I can have a chance to examine their contents for any hints. The document contains parts in different languages, that is the only thing that may be unusual, that I am aware of. (Languages English (UK), French (fr), Norwegian (two variants, "Bokmål" and "Nynorsk"). However, I am pretty sure I have saved several times along the way. I have had the application open for several days, and it would be no small amount of work lost if I loose everything. How can I get past this? Should I report a bug? I have found a few messages on the web containing (almost) the same error message, but it applied to 2.4. To report, how do I do?
