Fair enough. Here's how I'm reproducing the problem: Configuration: hp nc6400 laptop, 2-GHz Intel Core2 Duo (T7200), 1-GB RAM, ATI X1300
Boot CD: Ubuntu Desktop CD 7.04 (final) for amd64 Procedure: 1) boot from CD 2) apply widescreen workaround per comment #3 at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/103945 3) open firefox and download http://xqzone.marklogic.com/conference/2004/slides/Paycheck.ppt to the Desktop 4) double-click Paycheck.ppt on the Desktop 5) in OpenOffice Impress, go to the menu and select File > Save As... 6) in the Save dialog, change the Name to Paycheck1 7) expand the File Type widget and select Microsoft PowerPoint 97/2000/XP 8) click Save 9) click Yes when OOo warns about saving to MS formats At the bottom of the window, I see the text "PowerPoint Export" appear in the status line. However, nothing else seems to happen: the expected progress bar doesn't display, OpenOffice no longer re-draws its window, and 'top' shows that soffice.bin is using all of one CPU core. I watch the RES entry grow to 1.1-GB, then 1.4-GB. After about 5 minutes, I try to close the OpenOffice window. Gnome tells me that OpenOffice doesn't seem to be responding, but allows me to force quit the process. -- impress freezes on save to ppt, apparently in BitmapReadAccess::GetPixelFor_1BIT_MSB_PAL https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/76747 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
