Description FingerlessGloves 2023-07-18 11:16:02 UTC
I've been updating my raspberry pi that is used to show a presentation soon as it boots up, to display some basic information on loop. I need to update past version 7.2.4 due to hitting another bug (#128715) that has been fixed where the presentation stops looping after short time on 32bit OSes

I've installed a fresh copy of Raspbian Bullseye to make sure it's not a configuration change I've made. By default Raspbian/Debian Bullseye ships with 7.0.4 but this has the forementioned bug, so I've installed 7.4.5 from the bullseye backports. But now I've hit another problem.

When I do the following command to start Impress `loimpress --nologo --show show.odp` Impress opens but the actual presentation looks to be started behind the current window or isn't quite visualable correctly. I can only see one entry on the LXDE taskbar. Pressing Alt+Tab shows the extra window for the actual presenting but selecting it doesn't always make it show. If I keep messing with Alt+Tab and clicking the Impress program, eventually it'll show the Presentation.

Even if I wait 30 minutes without messing with Alt+Tab, it'll never show. If I open the file normally, then do start slideshow it runs as expected.

OS: Raspbian Bullseye 32bit armhf
Device: Raspberry Pi 3B

Thanks for the report.
I could not reproduce on Ubuntu 20.04 with GNOME 3.36.8 and a single display.
I tried LO 7.4.7, 7.5.5 and a recent master build at 24.2 alpha0+.

Can you please:
- update to 7.5.5 and see if you still have the issue
- if so, share the whole version info from Help > About
- possibly share an example document
- and let us know if you have more than one display.

Do you see the same problem when starting the presentation in app, with F5?

How do I install 7.5.5? I couldn't find arm builds of LibreOffice.
Comment 3 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2023-08-02 21:33:45 UTC
Hm looks like only sid has the most recent version: https://packages.debian.org/sid/libreoffice
Unfortunately, 7.4 won't see further updates, and we don't provide armhf builds at TDF.
Can you answer the other questions, and forget about an update for now?

I'll need to setup the environment again, I moved to arm64 and it solved the issue with LibreOffice I was having #128715.

I may also try installing the backports like I mentioned on the arm64 to see if it's a 32bit/64bit thing.
