title: headless soffice fails silently
body: <p>I can't get headless soffice to tell me why conversion does not work and I cannot seem to figure out what flags I could pass to get some error output.</p>
  
  <p>Version 1: </p>
  
  <p><code>/usr/bin/soffice --headless --convert-to pdf test.key --outdir .</code></p>
  
  <p>Version with all my silly attempts:</p>
  
  <p><code>HOME=/tmp &amp;&amp; /usr/bin/soffice --nologo --nofirststartwizard --headless --convert-to pdf test.key --outdir . &gt; logfile.txt 2&gt;&amp;1</code></p>
  
  <p>When I run the above I get a silent failure: I execute the command and then there's not console output.</p>
  
  <p>Thoughts?</p>
  
  <p>FYI:<br />
  - I'm running this on a Debian server.<br />
  - This works perfectly well for PowerPoint conversion.</p>
