Dear Maintainer,

I have several lectures prepared in LibreOffice Impress, and some slides
contain videos. During a presentation, when reaching one of these slides, the
video starts automatically. Until last semester (around April), this worked
fine. However, today I ran a test: when the first slide with a video is
reached, Impress freezes and stops responding. At that point, the only option
is to force quit the application.

I also tried inserting a video into a brand-new presentation, and the same
problem occurred: Impress freezes, and the only solution is to kill the
process. In this case, the issue happens right after selecting the video file
to insert into the slide.

Below is a gdbtrace.log from brand-new presentation.

warning: Currently logging to gdbtrace.log.  Turn the logging off and on to
make the new setting effective.

Hi,

Am 13.08.25 01:23, schrieb Marcelo Laia:

That symptoms is known for KDE in 25.2.3. New for me that it's also for
Gtk3 (at least I assume that you use Gtk3 based on the info below).

I tried now and I was able to insert a .mkv in Impress and play the
presentation just fine.

"Of course", not with

nvidia though.

Are you also using the nvidia binary driver? Or above firmware with
nouveau? (Disclaimer: I am not using nvidia and will not do so)

Here it is

Hi and thanks so much!

Yes! I'm a Gtk3 (Wayland)

I did some install/remove/purge packages and got it to work. I can, now,
play the video in the previous presentation and, too, I can insert a mp4
video on new presentations. I tested a mkv and it is inserted, too.

Here is what I do after your replay:

Wondering. Nothing of this should have any effect.. Unless you of course rebooted

into a new kernel afterwards after purging the old ones with a new driver, but...
