On one of my computers, an Eee PC 900 with Ubuntu 10.04, I can not
save as a template by Shift+F11. Whenever I try, I get the following
message (translated from Swedish, so I guess it's not exactly like the
English original error message):

Error when the document <Document name> was written as a template:
General error.
General input/output error.

I am not using the Ubuntu version of OpenOffice.org, I am using the
official OpenOffice.org Calc 3.2. I haven't tried this with writer so
I can't say whether this is a Calc specific problem or not.

I have the same version installed on my other Ubuntu 10.04 laptop (a
Packard Bell Easy Note something, bought in the end of 2006) but
without that problem…

Any suggestions what to do to debug this?

When I try to create a new template this way, I end up with a 0 byte
file at [/home/<user name>/.openoffice.org/3/user/template].
When I try to use the same name as an existing template, I end up with
a 0 byte file called [<filename>1.ots] at the same place. If I do it
again, the new file is called [<filename>2.ots] and so on.

For example, if I already have a template called a.ots, when I try to
replace it there will be a new 0 byte file at [/home/<user
name>/.openoffice.org/3/user/template] called a1.ots and so on,
instead of that the old file is just replaced with the new one.
