Package: openoffice.org Version: 1.1.2-3 Severity: important
_rene_ asked me to check with the upstream if all those video-related bugs appear in the upstream. So I did, and this is the second bug I encountered during this check. Please note - I don't know if *this* bug appears in the upstream or is debian specific, I am not able to check this (though I *suspect* that it may appear in the upstream and debian itself, but in each place being slightly different). That is because the thing is about cooperation between the two packages mozilla-plugin-vlc and openoffice.org ok. _rene_ had asked me whether I just 'aptitude install mozilla-plugin-vlc' and videos in OOo did Just Work (tm). That is a very good question, because at first I thought that the answer is "yes". Now when I wanted to check whether all those bugs appear in the upstream I just installed OOo in ~/tmp/OOo while using a different user account than my ordinary account, and I just launched OOo 1.1.3 and guess what? I'm not able to insert a video into a presentation, the item in a menu is just grayed out. So I launch a debian's OOo version 1.1.2 and here the item in a menu is also grayed out. The conclusion here is that I'm unable to insert videos into presentations with a user account different than the one I use everytime. That is really suspectible. I did checked this thing about three (or more times) and the solution is following: 1. as root 'adduser foo' 2. cp ..../video.mpg /home/foo/ Now I'm acting here as foo: 3. login as foo ; startx 4. launch openoffice presentation (debian or upstream, doesn't matter which) 5. see that menu item: insert->object->video is grayed out (even though package mozilla-plugin-vlc is installed) 6. close OpenOffice 7. launch 'galeon' 8. open in galeon video.mpg 9. watch it playing 10. launch OOo presentation again 11. see: insert->object->video is NOT grayed out 12. insert into presentation video.mpg 13. watch it playing The conclusion here is that galeon is *doing* something to the plugin, like registering it somewhere, so that OpenOffice "sees" it. That is obviously a bug, OOo should see a plugin without a help from geleon :) -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.26 Locale: LANG=pl_PL, LC_CTYPE=pl_PL Versions of packages openoffice.org depends on: ii dictionaries-common [openoffi 0.22.30.1 Common utilities for spelling dict ii openoffice.org-bin 1.1.2-3 OpenOffice.org office suite binary ii openoffice.org-debian-files 1.1.2-3+1 Debian specific parts of OpenOffic ii openoffice.org-l10n-en [openo 1.1.2-3 English (US) language package for ii ttf-opensymbol 1.1.2-3 The OpenSymbol TrueType font -- no debconf information
