Trying to convert http://www.users.dircon.co.uk/~hancock/antioch2.doc, I get this: $ unoconv -f pdf antioch2.doc Warning: -headless is deprecated. Use --headless instead. Warning: -invisible is deprecated. Use --invisible instead. Unknown option -nocrashreport Run 'soffice --help' to see a full list of available command line options. Warning: -nodefault is deprecated. Use --nodefault instead. Warning: -nofirststartwizard is deprecated. Use --nofirststartwizard instead. Warning: -nologo is deprecated. Use --nologo instead. Warning: -norestore is deprecated. Use --norestore instead. Warning: -accept=socket,host=localhost,port=2002;urp;StarOffice.ComponentContext is deprecated. Use --accept=socket,host=localhost,port=2002;urp;StarOffice.ComponentContext instead. Error: Unable to connect or start own listener. Aborting. After recompiling and installing the srpm from http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=309644, it works fine. I guess that unoconv-0.4-6 should be built for Fedora 16. Many thanks for your help, Pablo
Note that the missing -nocrashreport problem has been fixed in our libreoffice package meanwhile--in libreoffice-3.4.5.2-10.fc16 .
It works, but with the following warnings: $ unoconv -f pdf antioch2.doc Warning: -headless is deprecated. Use --headless instead. Warning: -invisible is deprecated. Use --invisible instead. Warning: -nodefault is deprecated. Use --nodefault instead. Warning: -nofirststartwizard is deprecated. Use --nofirststartwizard instead. Warning: -nologo is deprecated. Use --nologo instead. Warning: -norestore is deprecated. Use --norestore instead. Warning: -accept=socket,host=localhost,port=2002;urp;StarOffice.ComponentContext is deprecated. Use --accept=socket,host=localhost,port=2002;urp;StarOffice.ComponentContext instead. I wonder whether it would be better to rebuild it for Fedora 16 (since only unoconv-0.4-4.fc15.noarch is available): Many thanks for your help, Pablo
