I have coded my own html website recently, and today wished to add a Google calender object to it. I have not put this website on the web because it is for my own personal use and I can't buy a domain. So I just have a folder on my pc that I load the index.html from now and then. As I was saying, today I got an error while trying to save the Google calender object in. I am system admin on my PC, in fact no one else uses but me, except when I have friends round, but for once my PC seems to think I'm some standard account user, because I couldn't save. I thought of clicking close and seeing if it came up with save as, but it didn't, it said 'Are you sure you want to close without saving?' or something along the lines of that, and 'Saving has been disabled by your system admin.' I couldn't do anything. I tried looking at the settings of the file, and it had me as read only in one of the selections, so I changed that to read & write, but to no avail. I did not save as root when I last edited the file, so I don't get what's going on. Help! P.S. This is on Ask Ubuntu not Superuser because it is on my Ubuntu PC and it appears to be a problem with Ubuntu not root or hardware. P.P.S. Ubuntu now doesn't let me save any files!!! Please Help!!! It says file saving disabled by system admin.

@ijk yeah got 25GB spare (although on 40GB HDD) – Gubuntu Dec 13 '12 at 19:04
P.P.P.S. Doesn't work on any text editor. Damn. Tried rebooting. – Gubuntu Dec 13 '12 at 19:05
"...something along the lines of that, and 'Saving has been disabled by your system admin.'". What is the actual message? – ijk Dec 13 '12 at 21:10
an example of a blank document: Title of the popup: 'Changes to document "Untitled Document 1" will be permanently lost.', actual message underneath: 'Saving has been disabled by the system administrator.' That's on gedit, didn't get a message on libreoffice, just didn't allow me to save. It lets me save and edit files if I use terminal and sudo gedit, though. – Gubuntu Dec 14 '12 at 7:27
