>Description:
After portupgrade of linux emulator packages (linux_base and company), inux version of OpenOffice (running under linuxolator) had a problems with saving files -- just throwing message box with "Error writing file".
In the same time it works under root account.
>How-To-Repeat:
portupgrade -Rr 'linux*'
then try to run OpenOffice and save the file
>Fix:
It turned out that permissions on /compat/linux/tmp was reset to 755, which effectively prevents any user to use this directory as temporary dir.
If it were not there, OpenOffice will fallback to /tmp and successfuly work, but because it's there, it tries to use it and fails to write files.
So there is solution to remove it, ot have a 1777 permission on it after install.
