Ubuntu & Libreoffice: General input/output error saving file
Posted: Wed Apr 11, 2018 4:45 pm
[PROBLEM]
On Xubuntu Xenial (16.04.3 LTS, 64bit), I got a "general I/O" error when trying to save files in LibreOffice Draw
The error message was something like this:
No network drive, no USB disk - and (luckily), according to "dmesg": No general input/output error
[SOLUTION]
I don't know why, but the meta-package "libreoffice" wasn't installed on my machine.
So I just installed it, and it pulled in some additional packages:
btw: Libreoffice Draw was already at the latest version and stayed untouched.
Would like to know what caused the error, but don't have time to debug/reproduce it now.
Happy it works.
