Hi :) Preferably before trying the big video please go to Tools - Options - Memory and radically increase the various settings in there so that the program can cope with the video. Does the whole video really have to be embedded in the slide-show/file or could it just be linked to and then the 2 files carried around together? It might seems a little clunkier that way but it does increase flexibility for the longer-term or if the show needs to appear on lower-spec machines (such as netbooks or tablets or hand-helds). It's not always possible easily so don't worry too much about it. It's just a thought.
Several assumptions there that 'need' to be demolished. 1. LibreOffice is one single program/application with several different parts to it. Those parts should really be called "modules" rather than apps but we tend to use the wrong word to minimise endless repetitions of explanations and discussions which are mostly irrelevant to whatever problems the original poster had. Obviously it back-fires sometimes as in this case. So, Writer, Draw, Impress, Calc and Math are all 'just' modules within the program and the 1 single program is LibreOffice. You dealt with that just fine in the end but sometimes it's a struggle to explain. 2. Reinstalling does not reset settings nor configurations. You fixed a much more serious issue with the reinstall. The program/package itself 'must' have been broken in some way. Perhaps a corrupted download or something. Generally if you have weird problems and want to "get back to factory defaults" just to see if it was somethign in the settings or perhaps some 3rd party Extension struggling then just rename the User Profile https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/UserProfile Actually on Friday i was able to rapidly fix a broken Gimp session on a colleague's machine by following that familiar link rather than trying to find my way through Gimp's own documentation. Not that Gimp's is bad, just that i had under a minute to find&fix. So, welcome in and regards from Tom :) >________________________________ > From: Dr. Philipp Walderdorff <ph.walderdo...@gmx.at> >To: users@global.libreoffice.org >Sent: Sunday, 27 January 2013, 11:12 >Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Base Report Builder > >Thanks for answer >After several trys to delete and reinstall LibreOfficeImpress I looked >for any file in the computer: >sudo find / -name libreoffice* -print >and deleted all of them and installed LibreOfficeImpress new >from Ubuntu Software Center >And ... its working :-) > >In one of these files must have been the wrong configuration, which >happened through copy and paste the 2 minute long video to >LibreOfficeImpress.
