[Solved] Running headless with ooconvert - missing filters

[dunnma]

Ok...so I am trying to do something relatively simple (at least I would like it to be). I want to convert uploaded files to PDF (so Word, Excel, etc). I have heard of ooconvert and got it up, but when I run the --list command it says things like:

Code: Select all

Warning:  NoSuchElementException:   The requested filter 'Rich Text Format' exists ... but it shouldnt; because the corresponding OOo module was not installed.
Warning:  NoSuchElementException:   The requested filter 'StarOffice XML (Writer)' exists ... but it shouldnt; because the corresponding OOo module was not installed.
Warning:  NoSuchElementException:   The requested filter 'MS Word 2003 XML' exists ... but it shouldnt; because the corresponding OOo module was not installed.
Warning:  NoSuchElementException:   The requested filter 'StarCalc 1.0' exists ... but it shouldnt; because the corresponding OOo module was not installed.
Warning:  NoSuchElementException:   The requested filter 'draw_pdf_Export' exists ... but it shouldnt; because the corresponding OOo module was not installed.
Warning:  NoSuchElementException:   The requested filter 'MS Excel 95' exists ... but it shouldnt; because the corresponding OOo module was not installed.
Warning:  NoSuchElementException:   The requested filter 'draw8' exists ... but it shouldnt; because the corresponding OOo module was not installed.
Warning:  NoSuchElementException:   The requested filter 'MS Excel 97' exists ... but it shouldnt; because the corresponding OOo module was not installed.

I have checked and I have all of the packages installed (except for the language packs). Based upon my signature line does anyone know how I can install these missing modules?

Ok...so I uninstalled everything and then reinstalled every module at the same time (instead of piecemeal) and everything is working...go figure.

Hello

I work on a ubuntu server, 11.04 64 bits, and I get exactly the same error. The way I installed ooconvert seems to be different :
- I download oocconvert on http://sourceforge.net/projects/ooconvert/
- then I needed to install a server specific package : Xvfb
- then I had to install the package python-uno
And now I get exactly your error.

So my question, how did you install ooconvert?

reinstalled every module at the same time (instead of piecemeal) and everything is working

Coold you explain this please ?

Thanks a lot
