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.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. Regards from Tom :)

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.

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!
