Hi Christian, The value for org-odt-convert-processes is (("LibreOffice" "soffice --headless --convert-to %f%x --outdir %d %i") ("unoconv" "unoconv -f %f -o %d %i"))
"soffice" is in my path, so I can run it from any directory. Carsten, I have permission in /home. That is where I had my trial org file. I have the same problem if I put my org file in other directory.
