Hi,

I am trying to setup the PDF conversion feature of Nuxeo 5.1.5 on a 
Debian Etch server, using the procedure described in the nuxeo doc.

The point is: it works ok (i.e. by running Xvfb, and then soffice 
-headless) as long as the required software pieces are run as root. When 
run as any normal user, PDF conversion fails with the following log:
2008-07-30 10:22:38,823 INFO

2008-07-30 10:22:45,152 ERROR 
[org.nuxeo.ecm.platform.transform.plugin.joooconverter.impl.JOOoConvertPluginImpl]
 
An error occured trying to convert a file to from 
application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text to application/pdf: conversion 
failed; com.sun.star.task.ErrorCodeIOException:
2008-07-30 10:22:45,152 INFO

2008-07-30 10:22:45,153 ERROR 
[org.nuxeo.ecm.webapp.action.ConversionActionBean] Transform service 
didn't return any resulting documents which is not normal.

Note: I already run nuxeo server successfully as another dedicated user 
: "nuxeo".

Because running Xvfb and soffice as root is not so good in term of 
security. Running them as a dedicated user (e.g. "ooo" user) could bring 
better service isolation.

Does anyone know how to run openoffice server as a normal user which 
nuxeo can use to convert files as PDF? Or any clue for further debugging?

Thanks!
