Hi :)
It might have made a difference if he didn't have read/write access to the
folder or something dumb like that. Also it's something quick to try and beats
just tearing your hair out.

Tom :)
sudo chown blah to change ownership of the folder - I have to look the
exact switches, etc. I have seen this issue crop up occasionally were a
folder tree does not have the permissions set to allow something like this.

How would that make a difference? Isn't that what he means when he
said it wouldn't work as SU? - either that or he ran "sudo su" before
running the command, so I doubt that that is th problem.

Hi everyone,
I just downloaded libreoffice 4 and installed it on a Mac (Lion) and
Linux
(Ubuntu). On the Mac, everything works exactly as I expected, and I can
easily convert documents to pdfs using the command line tool like this:
/Applications/LibreOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/soffice --headless
--convert-to
pdf sample.ppt
However, on Unbuntu, when I execute the equivalent command, it always
fails
quickly and silently with exit code 77 (Permission denied).
/opt/libreoffice4.0/program/soffice --headless --convert-to pdf
sample.ppt
This failure happens regardless of whether I am a regular user or
superuser.
I am not running libreoffice via a user interface, and this command is
being
executed on an Amazon EC2 headless machine.
Can someone offer any advice, either a method to get more error
information
(such as a log file or a verbose flag) so I can figure out what's going
on?
I'm sure it's a simple issue, but right now the lack of error reporting
is
making it hard to get the issue resolved.
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Graham
