John Rose, this issue is unreproducible in LibreOffice Impress via the Terminal:
cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/581605/+attachment/1394154/+files/1.tar.gz && file-roller -h 1.tar.gz && cd 1 && rm 1.odp && unoconv --listener && unoconv -f odp 1.ppt && loimpress -nologo 1.ppt 1.odp two files look exactly the same. Does that work for you? lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 11.04 Release: 11.04 apt-cache policy libreoffice-impress libreoffice-impress: Installed: 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5 Candidate: 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5 Version table: *** 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-proposed/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu4 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main i386 Packages apt-cache policy unoconv unoconv: Installed: 0.3-6 Candidate: 0.3-6 Version table: *** 0.3-6 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/universe i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ** Also affects: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Summary changed: - [upstream] [3.2.1] Conversion from ppt to odp in open office + [3.2.1] Conversion from ppt to odp in open office ** Changed in: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/581605 Title: [3.2.1] Conversion from ppt to odp in open office -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
