Impress error fail to open PowerPoint file

[edurojasr]

Hi!

I'm try to open a ppt file that I was using before the recent update, now impress fail to open the file and crashes.

• Ubuntu 23.04
• Linux Kernel Linux 6.2.0-20-generic
• LibreOffice (snap) 7.5.2.2 rev 272
• snapd 2.59.1 rev 18933
• Using Wayland
• Gnome 44

Error message:

edu@edu-t14s:~$ snap run libreoffice.impress 

(soffice:14092): GLib-GIO-WARNING **: 21:36:29.803: Error creating IO channel for /proc/self/mountinfo: Permission denied (g-file-error-quark, 2)

Tested LibreOffice 7.5.2.2 apt package (default on Ubuntu 23.04 installation) and this works great, the problem its not present and I can edit and use the ppt file as before. I tested the snap with other ppt file and some works other not and crash with the same error.

Thanks for all the work! Love LibreOffice as snap :hearts:

Tested again

I was using LibreOffice (snap) 7.5.2.2 rev 272 an the moment I use a italic format it crashed, with the fallowing error, so I think the problem is in the snap package of italic font or something

/snap/libreoffice/272/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin: symbol lookup error:
