*** Issue 108604 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***
Hello Uwe, *, I can confirm the crash with OOO320m10 and Sun Presenter Console 1.1.0 under Debian SID AMD64. My graphics adapter is an 00:0d.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C61 [GeForce 6150SE nForce 430] (rev a2) with ii nvidia-kernel-2.6.32-trunk-amd64 190.42-3+2.6.32-2 NVIDIA binary kernel module for Linux 2.6.32-trunk (build via module-assistant). HTH Thomas.
Crashes also on Windows XP (ATI Mobility and NVidia GeForce FX5200) with m8 and m10.
I can also confirm this issue: OS: Ubuntu Karmic Koala (32 Bit) OOo: 3.2RC3 Graphik: VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) (Intel GMA4500MHD)
released from DEV300_m69, please have a look
The problem is caused by incompatible versions of OOo and presenter console. The 1.1.0 version of the presenter console belongs to the DEV300 master and does not work with current OOo versions of the OOO320 master. Version 1.0.3 of the presenter console should be used instead on the OOO320 master. The problem with this is is that the impressaccessibility5 CWS that introduces version 1.0.3 has been integrated into DEV300 but not yet into OOO320. The next best thing is the most current version 1.0.2 (version number was not increased with every minor modification), e.g. from OOO320 m11. This version, however, has a paint problem in the main slide preview (fixed in 1.0.3). This can be worked around by switching the presenter console into notes mode and back again.
So why are at http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/presenter-screen Version 1.0.2 *and* 1.1.0 are declared as *compatible with Version 3.2* and Version 1.1.0 is coming with an automatical update.
Version 1.1.0 should not be in the repository. Only when OOo 3.3 is released should version 1.1.0 of the extension be put into the repository. And yes, its current dependency is wrong and should be updated accordingly. I just don't know whether the extension can then still be installed on the 3.3 development versions of OOo: it may still pretend to be of version 3.2 (have to check that.)
Changed component to extension. Overview: DEV300_m69: Presenter console version 1.0.2 : does not work DEV300_m69: Presenter console version 1.1.0 : works OOO320_m10: Presenter console version 1.0.2 : does not work OOO320_m10: Presenter console version 1.1.0 : Crash OOo3.1.1: Presenter console version 1.0.2 : works OOo3.1.1: Presenter console version 1.1.0 : needs Office version 3.2
I don't see download link for presenter console 1.1.0.. and, does it work in windows 7 ? Thanks
If version 1.0.2 of the extension is still incompatible with OO.o 3.2, then there will probably be a lot of disappointed people on Friday, which is when it seems the release version of 3.2 will be coming out. See http://lizards.opensuse.org/2010/02/08/openoffice_org-3_2_0_5/ Also on http://planet.go-oo.org/ Is there any way to work around the accessibility issue for 1.0.3 (if that is compatible with OO.o 3.2)? Or getting the 1.0.2 issue sorted out by the upcoming 3.2 release date?
the version 1.0.2 works with OOo Version 3.2 this is tested with the vanilla version of OOo 3.2 and the extension from http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/project/presenter-screen
removing Presenter-Console from http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/project/presenter-screen fixed the problem with version 3.2 so => worksforme
-> closed
The version that works for OOo 3.2 Win32 is 1.0.3 (which is now up on the extension page for Win32 only), not 1.0.2. I have just tested version 1.0.2 several times with a vanilla OOo 3.2 RC5 and it doesn't work. I have then uninstalled 1.0.2 and installed 1.0.3 and restarted OOo and tested with 1.0.3 and it works fine. 1.0.2 does the presentation on my external screen as if the presenter console extension is not installed at all (i.e. no different to vanilla OOo), while 1.0.3 does it with the console appearing on the internal screen.
