Hi, originally reported in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1028290. Still reproducible in current master. If we ignore the environment this boils down to: Transcript with the GUI package: # loffice --convert-to png /x/A.pptx Warning: failed to launch javaldx - java may not function correctly convert /x/A.pptx -> /A.png using filter : impress_png_Export Same from the -nogui pkg: # loffice --convert-to png /x/A.pptx Warning: failed to launch javaldx - java may not function correctly Unspecified Application Error (see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1028290#5) He sent straces (which unfortunately didn't end up in the bug log...), but it seems to be this: It *seems* to be this in your nogui-strace: 94919 21:08:29.439478 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/lib/libreoffice/share/config/soffice.cfg/modules/simpress/ui/tabviewbar.ui", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 94919 21:08:29.439573 --- SIGSEGV {si_signo=SIGSEGV, si_code=SEGV_MAPERR, si_addr=NULL} --- 94919 21:08:29.439478 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/lib/libreoffice/share/config/soffice.cfg/modules/simpress/ui/tabviewbar.ui", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 94919 21:08:29.439573 --- SIGSEGV {si_signo=SIGSEGV, si_code=SEGV_MAPERR, si_addr=NULL} --- Why does --convert-to in a --disable-gui build need .ui files? It should work without.... Indeed it's the .ui file (or more): rene@debianunstable:~$ lodraw --convert-to A.png A.pptx Unspecified Application Error rene@debianunstable:~$ su - Passwort: root@debianunstable:~# cd /home/rene/ root@debianunstable:/home/rene# cp -ra usr/lib/libreoffice/share/config/soffice.cfg/* /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/config/soffice.cfg/ [ directory tree is dpkg-deb -x <libreoffice-impress deb> . ) root@debianunstable:/home/rene# Abgemeldet rene@debianunstable:~$ lodraw --convert-to A.png A.pptx convert /home/rene/A.pptx as a Impress document -> /home/rene/A.A.png using filter : impress_png_Export rene@debianunstable:~$
Just tried from a clean state again. It's definitely tabviewbar.ui which suffices and makes it work: rene@debianunstable:~$ soffice --convert-to A.png A.pptx Warning: failed to launch javaldx - java may not function correctly Unspecified Application Error rene@debianunstable:~$ su - Passwort: root@debianunstable:~# cd /home/rene/ root@debianunstable:/home/rene# mkdir -p /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/config/soffice.cfg/modules/simpress/ui root@debianunstable:/home/rene# cp usr/lib/libreoffice/share/config/soffice.cfg/modules/simpress/ui/tabviewbar.ui /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/config/soffice.cfg/modules/simpress/ui root@debianunstable:/home/rene# Abgemeldet rene@debianunstable:~$ soffice --convert-to A.png A.pptx Warning: failed to launch javaldx - java may not function correctly convert /home/rene/A.pptx as a Impress document -> /home/rene/A.A.png using filter : impress_png_Export Overwriting: /home/rene/A.A.png rene@debianunstable:~$ Why does --convert-to have do do anything with the tabviewbar UI? ;)
(did https://salsa.debian.org/libreoffice-team/libreoffice/libreoffice/-/commit/d37404423e2697858ca0927cbd5fc37a6ab76f8f for now as a workaround. That of course doesn't scale, if more stuff like this happens one probably needs libreoffice-iconfig-impress package or somesuch impress and impress-nogui [1] depend on...) [1] and incidentially also draw (see https://salsa.debian.org/libreoffice-team/libreoffice/libreoffice/-/blob/debian-experimental-7.5/rules#L2762)
> if more stuff like this happens one probably needs libreoffice-iconfig-impress package or somesuch impress and impress-nogui [1] depend on...) Decided to actually do that in 7.6 onwards. https://salsa.debian.org/libreoffice-team/libreoffice/libreoffice/-/commit/7ad582bab08c00b8548d4d34cb2b4bc064d24395 But still I think a --disable-gui and even a --convert-to only there shouldn't require .ui files. At all.
Didn't test, but I believe you -> NEW
In order to reproduce it: 1. Build with --disable-gui 2. rm instdir/share/config/soffice.cfg/modules/simpress/ui/tabviewbar.ui 3. --headless --convert-to png
Dear Rene Engelhard, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. Please DO NOT Update the version field Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ 2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo'; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!
