i need a command line application for converting .pptx (PowerPoint 2007) Files into .ppt (PP 2000/2003/XP)Files.
Is there any tool existing or is it even possible to do the convert via openoffice?
The only requirement is, to do that via command line or a script which can be executed from the command line.
I was able to convert a Real Estate Firm from using Microsoft OSS to OpenSuse 11.2.The Real estate agents in the firm are pleased and some are not but it's the cost of doing business and saving money.I am at a cross road or should I say I have come to a bump in the road. Most of the agents create their flyers and signs in Microsoft Publisher, I tried Open Office 3.X and I'm unable to open or edit the files in question.Do have any suggestions or could you point me in the direction of a solid solution that will help me either convert the files or a program that can be used with-in OpenSuse 11.2 that can edit the files

I'm trying to view a PPTX file. The presentation has notes that I have to be able to see, but the note view in LibreOffice shows no notes or slides. The normal view shows the slide, but you can't see the notes. (OpenOffice did this same thing, which is why I tried LibreOffice).
This is what I see with the PPTX file: [URL]
When I open the file on a Windows machine with Office 2010, I can save the file as a "PowerPoint 97-2003 Presentation," and the PPT file then works in LibreOffice, as shown here: [URL]
The problem is that I don't want to have to open a windows machine to convert my class presentations every time I want to view them. Is there anyway to view PPTX presentations with notes on Linux? PowerPoint Viewer will not open PPTX files.
I'm having trouble opening a pptx (powerpoint tex ie tex as in latex) file with LibreOffice. For the most part, LibreOffice opens the pptx file fine except for the fact that it is not translating certain mathematical symbols right. I really need to be able to open pptx files as many mathematicians are windows users. I figure there is a package or something I need to install but I don't know what it is.....

I have heard that tclient v2 is much better than the one that comes with ubuntu or even remmina and have found a rpm package for it.
I search and found I should use alien to convert to a deb so I can install; I am getting the following error :-
sudo alien -k tsclient-2.0.2-1.fc11.src.rpm
error: incorrect format: unknown tag
mkdir: cannot create directory `tsclient-2.0.2': File exists
nable to mkdir tsclient-2.0.2: at /usr/share/perl5/Alien/Package.pm line 257.
I am running alien from the directory where the .rpm file is and while the extraction is done the creation of a deb file is not.

You see I have a friend that has done a lot of Orthodox Music in NWC, but I want to get it into Lilypond as it will look better, and then I can easily convert to pdf, and easily change things if needed, etc. But I would rather not have to print and retype it all.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhat's the accepted method for converting Mythtv's nuv files to avi files now?
I ask this because nuvexport seems to be unsupported these days. The last released version removed support for using transcode to convert the files. This leaves only mencoder and ffmpeg, and these have the following problems:
1) mencoder is much, much too slow. It takes about five times as long to convert a file as transcode ever did.
2) Ubuntu's ffmpeg is crippled, and doesn't work. I realise that there are instructions for installing a version of ffmpeg that works, but as this does not provide any method for creating Debian packages of it, I do not wish to pollute my filesystem with a mish-mash of manually installed software.
Is there any way to convert nuv files with transcode?
I am looking for a nice and simple GUI app that can handle multiple audio formats and convert between them, something like Xrecode in windoze. Maybe by any chances you know about such alternative or similar application
If no such application exist, then i would like to find some solution for easy conversion for these scenarios:
Mainly i keep my music collection in flac format, so i mostly care for conversion from other formats to flac.
I've been a Linux user for 5 years, though this I only recently started using RPM based distros. I'm still in my first week using Fedora and I love it. Hats off to the development team. Now, onto my question:
I have a rather large collection of music in three different formats: MP3, OGG, and FLAC. I'd like to shrink my library by converting all the flac files to ogg. However, since I don't want to convert from lossy to lossy, I'm going to leave the mp3s alone. Is there a program that will allow me to do this quickly and easily? I'd prefer a GUI, though I'm comfortable working with the terminal if needed.
I have a whole bunch of wma files I want to convert to a more liked format like wv flac or shn. Shntool does not seem to want to do that soundconverter and soundkonverter both refuse too. My wma format is wma1 or wmal cannot tell if it is 1 the number or l the letter L.
1. They play in xine straight off. Xine is in your synaptic
2. To convert quickly install dBpoweramp under wine again quick and no fuss.
I downloaded a couple of TTA files and they are just static on playback. Do I need a different codec or something? Converting the files to FLAC yielded the same results. I'm running a 10.04 64bit machine.

- ffmpeg (Multimedia player)
- Gstreamer ffmpeg video plugin (Codecs to play formats)

I am looking for a command line command to convert ~2500 .flac files to .ogg files. All of the .flac files are in one folder and I would like to have the .ogg files put in a folder labled OGG - I would like to retain song information etc if possible.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm rather new to linux, and I have a dedi server. I know how to browse, install, remove etc, all the basics needed to use it. I've installed flvtool2, memcoder and ffmpeg, and at the moment im converting avi files in to flv. Im then passing metadata using yamdi.
However, this process is very timely as im converting loads of avi files at a time.Im looking for a script, or a way where I can execute one command/script and which will convert all files in the directory I specify, then run those converted files through yamdi.Im guessing it would be some sort of loop, and then changing for each file?
Does anyone have a simple to use bash script or some such that will convert MSSQL dump files to MySQL formatted dump files?

My friend and I spent two weeks trying to find out why my openSUSE laptop wouldn't connect to his router using WEP. We finally figured out that the KDE networkmanager was not translating the passphrase into the hexidecimal number (default key #1). Once we entered the hexidecimal number, it connected with no problems. He uses Ubuntu on his test laptop (Windows guy). Ubuntu, and kubuntu via live CD, both connected only using the passphrase. I didn't have an openSUSE Gnome live CD to test weather this is KDE specific or not.

I've discovered that Dolphin seems to lose random files when copying many large folders.
I first noticed this a few months ago when I tried to copy my music library from one folder to another on the same HDD. It consisted of around 600 folders and 6500 files. During the copy there were no errors but after the copy I found that some of the newly copied folders were missing files. I put it down to human error or a glitch.
Yesterday I tried to copy 13 folders containing rips of some of my DVDs. Each folder basically had one film of either 700MB or 1.4GB. Again no errors showed up during the copy but I found 3 of the newly copied folders were empty.
It's not so critical with music or films but I can't afford to lose work data like this.
Has anyone experienced or seen a similar problem with Dolphin? I'm going to have to do some more extensive testing but this is not good.
The first time I noticed the problem I was running KDE4.3.4 (I think) and now the latest was with KDE4.4.0.
how to convert mkv files to either avi or mp4?
ATM I'm trying to use mencoder and am not impressed with it telling me it can't find the file I'm trying to convert. Especially when it WAS perfectly able to fid the file before my computer had an unfortunate crash, which didn't even affect the file in question.
I try to convert a doc file to a pdf file with the linux bash. I tried different ways like jodconverter, ghostscript, postscript and so on, but all didn't work as espected. Additionally I can say that I have only the bash.
