Ubuntu – How to use LibreOffice’s 3d transitions in Impress

11.10effectslibreofficepresentation

How can I get the 3D transitions working on Impress? I got a presentation coming soon, and as a requirement of the course the professor want us to use transitions on our "Power Point" chapter, obviously I have been using LibreOffice in every exercise but the native transitions are kind of lame, so when I install the newer version of Ubuntu, always install the extra package to the transitions – I had installed the 3D package:

libreoffice-ogltrans 1:3.4.3-3ubuntu2

In previous versions of Ubuntu and worked perfectly, but for some reason is not working in this release.

I got LibreOffice 3.4.3, Ubuntu Oneiric Ocelot (11.10) and my hardware is not relevant because I had it working before on previous releases.

I know is not critical, but for my class is a pretty important deal, and can be a perfect opportunity to show the class that the cool stuff are not only in Windows.

As a recomendation of one of Eliah Kagan, I'm putting the output of:

sudo lshw -C video

And I'm not using Unity – it don't there anyways -, I'm using instead Gnome Shell.

It appears that ogltrans still does not yet work in Ubuntu 11.10 for LibreOffice 3.44 (OOO340m1 build 402) (refer to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/i386/libreoffice-ogltrans/1:3.4.4-0ubuntu1). Hope this will be fixed soon so I can continue to "impress" people...

BTW, libreoffice-presenter-console also wasn't working until I updated it to 1.10 with the latest LibreOffice on 16-nov-2011.
