Debian Multimedia :: Unable To Use OOffice Impress And .pps Files
Feb 24, 2010
I have several lectures from a class that were distributed as .pps files. When I try to open them with Impress, the slide show immediately starts playing. When the end of the slide show is reached, Impress closes. So, I have no way of looking at these slide shows in the editing window (which is what I need to do). I have tried opening these presentations both from the command line, and by starting Impress then selecting File > Open.
Once the presentation starts, I can switch to the editing window, but essentially all buttons and menu items are "grayed out": [URL] I can't even save the presentation as a native OOffice type.

Back in my Windows days I used Power Point but now that I am a Linux guy I use OpenOffice Impress instead. First, even in power point if I embedded sound files I had to make sure they were .wav files, and in this format they grew very large. I have been told that I can embed a .wav file in Impress, but there is a limit of 100k on the file size. Also there is a place where you can change this limitation, but I can't find where to change it. Does any one know where this setting is?
Next, let me tell you what I am trying to do and maybe someone has a better way of doing it. I have slides in my presentation where I display text and have sound files that read the text that is displayed. I have a couple of ways to do this, but both ways are just inserting sound files into the slide. All this does is point to the sound file and then plays it. This works find until I want to transfer it to another computer. To get the presentation to run on another computer I would have to re-insert the sound file so the pointer was right.
So this means I need to not only copy the presentation over but the sound files also. My main question: Is there a better way to do this? Even if I have to use a different program if Impress is unable to embed sound files. I believe that both Power Point and Impress both fall short in this area. I am trying to stay away from developing a program to do this. There must be something out here in the Linux world that would fit the bill?

I received some M$ Power Points files and cannot open then. One file was from Power Points 2010, and another saved with the option 2000-2010. These were rejected by Impress with the failure report "Version Incompatibility. Incorrect file version". When a file was saved with the option Power Point 95, Impress tried to open it but when RAM useable ramped up to > 1GB, Impress automatically shut down. The only other information wrt the files is that its highly likely they contain graphics generated with M$Visio. Has anyone had similar experiences? Are there any work arounds?

Let's say you have a presentation made in OO.o Impress and you have an audio record of the speaker, and you want to combine these two together into a nice video consisting basically of the presentation slides and the speaker's voice - how would you do it?
Would you export the presentation to flash (.swf file), then import it in a video editor (if so. which one?)?
Or would you rather export slides to individual pictures and import them one by one to a video editor (again, which one?)?

Am supposed to hand my lord and master an ubuntu laptop tomorrow morning with a presentation on it that includes two short movie clips. Impress will import the movies, they play in the edit mode but when I actually show the presentation in full screen mode the video doesn't start, it just sits on the first frame and I can't for the life of me figure out how to make it play rather than switch to the next slide.
I'm using maverick meerkat on a dell mini 1012 and oo 3.2
edit: this works (specific movies and version of OO) on my Macbook running Lucid

I've tried to search through this forum a couple of times to understand this problem, but no posts to date (that I've found) quite address it. Simply put, I am unable to get amarok to play mp3 files, which represent a large portion of my music collection.Every time I start the program, a window pops up advising me that amarok cannot play mp3 files, and it asks if I wish to install that support. Every time I click yes, it announces that the system has successfully done so, except that I might have to restart the program for the change to take effectEvery time I restart the program the same sequence happens. At no time does it ever play mp3 files.
I've tried to install every mp3 codec library I can find, none of this makes any difference.There was a time when amarok handled all this with absolutely no problem and behaved like a really good music manager, but that capability evidently was blown away by some software update that I probably wouldn't have run if I'd known what would happen.Does anyone know how to solve this? (Yes, I've tried using mmcheck. Does no good. This is openSUSE 11.3 for x86_64. Amarok Version 2.3.0 Using KDE 4.4.4 (KDE 4.4.4) "release 2"

For some reason, audio and video doesn't sync while playing MP4 video files. I have tried many MP4 files to confirm this is not specific file related issue. I have tried both VLC and Mplayer. Sound track doesn't sync with video track.

When I try playing any TTA files in Clementine, Rhythmbox or Movie Player all I hear is white noise. It plays normally in VLC and SMPlayer, but I want to be able to play TTA files in Clementine. I've been able to do so before I recently reinstalled Ubuntu 10.10 on my computer. I've tried installing ttaenc-3.4.1 from source, and nothing changed. I also tried installing ffmpeg-0.6.1 from source, but that didn't help either.

I am running Debian testing on my box and iceweasel 5 with several addons. My question is the following: is there a way to export above all my addons settings to a file? I would like to be able to install on another debian machine the same iceweasel 5 and have the same addons installed (if I could have even the same toolbar it would be dream) automatically.

For the longest I have been unable to burn an audio CD that contains ogg files with GnomeBaker, and have always had to decode to wav manually. Well I'm tired of doing that, so want to get to the bottom of the problem. Upon adding an ogg file to the file list, the error I receive is:
"The plugin to handle a file of type audio/ogg is not installed." I have all the gstreamer0.10-plugins-[base|bad|good|ugly] packages installed. I can play an .ogg file with rhythmbox.
Using gconf-editor, /system/gstreamer/0.10/audio/profiles/cdlossy is "active" and the cdlossy profile is listed in /system/gstreamer/0.10/audio/global/profile_list At a loss on what I need to do.

I have mentioned this in another thread elsewhere but perhaps this is a better location. In Opensuse 11.3 I was able to play files on my NAS drive from within smplayer over samba shares or ftp. I would simply use dolphin to browse to the file on the nas drive (either through samba or ftp protocol), double click the .avi file and it would load smplayer and begin playing immediately.
In 11.4 I have samba set up using the same smb.conf file However, if I double click the .avi file it copies the entire contents to the local computer before launching smplayer. If I use smplayer's file selector and navigate to the file on the samba share I get the message "you can only select local files" This is a different behaviour to that from 11.3 However, using the ftp protocol from within dolphin smplayer launches immediately and begins playing. smplayer is launched using the shortcut command
Code:
smplayer %U
Does anybody have any suggestions on a workaround or how to correct? Using kaffeine I have no problems. Double click the file on the nas drive and kaffeine launches immediately and begins playing.

I have a customized XP installation disk created for my company. However, my office does not require several of the applications that are installed by default. Also, some configuration settings are incorrect. I have extracted the XP installation files and can perform an install using those files from a running system, but I cannot boot from the CD.
I have tried just about every suggestion I can find on the net except purchasing a third-party burning application to do this. I tried burning both CDs and DVDs using floppy boot images, but XP will not install in a "DOS environment". I've also tried ripping the boot sector directly from a bootable CD/DVD and using that without success. Finally, I ripped ISO images and tried ripping the boot sector from those, also without success. I've also tried various file system type settings in K3b, including Joliet, Linux/Windows, UDF, and DOS compatible, all without success. Surely there must be a way to do this?
PS--I tried posting this to the K3b mailing list first but was rejected, even after creating an account with Sourceforge!? Didn't want to have to submit a support request just to submit a support request.

I am on Squeeze I just updated with a new kernel 32-5-686. I have installed the Nvidia driver with kernel 32-3-686. After the update I can't log with kernel 32-5-686. I tried installing another Nvidia driver but I ran into some trouble. This is the first time I am doing this. how to go by and install an Nvidia driver with the new kernel. Should I remove the old driver first? If I do this I won't be able to log into the system using the old kernel from which I am typing this message.

Because I am unable to get "report-bug" to run without crashing, I would like to report a bug in "lxterminal" on Debian 6.0 (Squeeze) running the 486 kernel.When the lxterminal Preferences are changed, they are not saved afterwards (once the application is exited.) I have to change the font size each time, as the default lxterminal screen opens up too small to read.

Recently updated KDE to the last version available, v4.6.4. Apparently Dolphin lost the ability to mount ntfs/fat32 volumes. It was working great with 4.6.3. I'm getting this error while trying to mount an external HDD formatted as NTFS:

It seems that mojosetup is an open software included for all recent GOG games, but maybe it can't run on Debian ? Or could it be more a directory issue ?
