Are you out of disk space or free inodes? Check in a terminal window for free disk space using: df -h Check for free inodes using: df -hi (this not likely the problem but still a possibility) If out of space or inodes delete some files (your browser cache is a good place to start) or move them to another partition that has free space.
Are you having disk problems? dmesg will display some kernel log info. Also see: /var/log/messages (must be root to see)
Did you rename, move, or remove the directory that you were saving to?
No, no and no. It is a quite freshly installed FC4 with almost 100GB free on the /home-partition.
Should definitely not run out of anything.
But thanks for the answer!

It has been a few days since the original post of your problem. Did you resolve the issue? If so, what was it?
Here are some other things to consider: Did the permissions on the directory where you are saving the document get changed? Did you change the directory where you are saving to one where you do not have write permission? Did you try saving to another directory where you know you have write permission, such as, /tmp? Any packages (new or updates) installed or removed? Any configuration changes? Is the problem reproducible? May be you encountered a bug in OO.
Hello, Wondering if the OP found a solution on this, or if other stumbled on this problem, because I have. Completely just like the OP described.

No, I couldn't find any resolution.

No permission changed on the system. My home directory is NFS mounted to an NFS server. But when this happens I tried to "Save as" the file to a local directory to which I'm sure I have complete access to, and to /tmp, nothing works. openoffice (in this case Impress) just won't save anything. Luckily, it is my habbit to always hit CTRL-S every several minute, so I only lost one slide worth of work. When I close OO (it asked if I wanted to save), I had to say discard, and then the dialog "OO has crashed" pops up. I guess I am going to file bug report with that.
This has happened twice to me in the last couple days since I've been working intensely building presentation this last two days. When this happens, I had to 'rm -rf .oo~' in my home directory, otherwise OO keeps giving me random crashes.
I have to say this openoffice beta that comes with FC 4 is not really stable. I am wondering why FC4 includes that rather than the stable 1.1.x version.

Hi,
I have to say this openoffice beta that comes with FC 4 is not really stable. I am wondering why FC4 includes that rather than the stable 1.1.x version.
I had that same problem with OOo 2 beta which comes with FC4 (it crashes when saving documents) on some machines, but I have other machines where it worked flawlessly (!). For now, I've uninstalled FC4 OOo from the machines where it crashes and installed OOo 2 beta (1.9 build 122) downloaded from the official site. Haven't got any problems till now.
