I'm not really clear on what is happening but it is still trying to open the file. Here is part of a strace of the process:
access("/tmp/svmg1.tmp/sv8kc.tmp", F_OK) = 0 lstat("/tmp/svmg1.tmp/sv8kc.tmp", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=35507, ...}) = 0 stat("/tmp/svmg1.tmp/sv8kc.tmp", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=35507, ...}) = 0 open("/tmp/svmg1.tmp/sv8kc.tmp", O_RDONLY) = 47 read(47, "VCLMTF\1\0001\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\1\0\33\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 32000) = 32000 stat("/tmp/svmg1.tmp/sv8ke.tmp", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=0, ...}) = 0 open("/tmp/svmg1.tmp/sv8ke.tmp", O_RDWR) = 48 fcntl(48, F_SETLK, {type=F_WRLCK, whence=SEEK_SET, start=0, len=0}) = 0 lseek(48, 0, SEEK_SET) -- I have this ppt file in powerpoint that cannot be opened. https://launchpad.net/bugs/91723 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
