Hi All,

OpenOffice 3.0 is out there, and I'm trying to update my openSuSE 11.0 set-up.

Will all the cool stuff here work with 3.0?

The GARAGE: JesCom Creative Technologies Center: Are you sure you have the right OpenOffice.org installed? Many builds don't include the 3D transitions at all. See "Where is the OpenGL 3D extension for Impress?"

Graphics card: Nvidia GeForce Go 6100 using the Latest Legacy GPU Version (1.0-96xx series): 96.43.07

Compiz runs smoothly (with minor problems in Mandriva), and Impress doesn't crash. 3D transitions don't appear in Preview or play in Slideshow.

2008-08-04T17:24:15.164-06:00

OO Impress since its very beginning has NOT been able to play a SINGLE piece of background music over the transitions of several slides. (eg. 3 minutes of music played as background to 20 slides. Each slide must have its own piece of music.)
THIS ONE SINGLE FEATURE is the major difference why MS Office PowerPoint is a superior product.

2008-07-31T11:53:31.802-06:00

I've got the same problem. I'm using Ubuntu Hardy on AMD 64-bit. OOo is the standard one from the standard repo with the transitions installed and OpenGL activated in the OOo options menu. I can't see anything either in preview or in slideshow mode. I'm using Compiz on openGL with no problems whatsoever. Using a proprietary ATi driver.
Any ideas anyone?

Great work anyway! Let's hope we can make this work everywhere too!

Hi, andrew z! I have the same problem as Distribuidora jyf. I have the OpenGL transitions installed, and they appear in list of transitions for Impress. Unfortunately, the 3D transitions do not show up in the Preview. They also don't appear when I play the actual Slideshow.

I'm also using Ubuntu 8.04.1 64-bit on my laptop with Nvidia GeForce Go 6100. I'm using the Latest Legacy GPU Version (1.0-96xx series): 96.43.07, and Compiz is running smoothly.

About a month or so back, these 3D transitions were all working fine. It was just when I used the Update Manager to update OpenOffice.org and Ubuntu that they wouldn't work. I've tried removing and reinstalling, but it didn't work. I've also done a clean reinstall of 8.04.1, and that didn't work as well. I really hope you can help me to fix it. Thanks!

2008-07-20T06:21:28.778-06:00

Distribuidora jyf: Did you read the section "Drivers and X.org fussiness"? You need to make sure Compiz works well before attempting to use OpenOffice.org OpenGL transitions. Both have the same requirements.

Hi everybody!

Is there any schedule on the release of the extension? I can't find any information about it on any OO related site.

Thanks alot,

blog: I expected it would be released by now, so I am not sure. I tried building it as an .oxt extension, but I have not yet succeeded. For testing, either use the download from this page or simply build OpenOffice.org from source using the flags --enable-opengl and --enable-ogltrans. Also, it seems Ubuntu, Debian, and Mandriva have the ogltrans package in their repositories (maybe unstable repositories). Finally, I expect OxygenOffice will have it in OxygenOffice 2.4.0: you may check the OxygenOffice development snapshot site.

Is there any sort of time frame for the release of the extension or instructions on how we might build it ourselves for testing?

Anonymous: No, this feature is never planned to be included with the official/vanilla edition of OpenOffice.org. It is intended as an extension which has not been released quite yet.

I gotta agree with jamielesouef here. Without trying to sound overly negative, I really think 3D could be used for adding something actually functional and innovative instead of just new eye candy.

I'm wondering if the OpenGL transistions are bundeled within the official 2.4 release .deb packages, which have been released yesterday? I'm unable to find them!
