[gentoo-user] inkscape emerge

2011-10-07 Thread James
Hello,

I read somewhere that inkscape (in portage)
can open and allow some manipulation of
Visio files. Anyone got any experience
with inkscape and visio files?


Emerging inkscape, it required 12 new packages
to be install too. What must I do to ensure that
when I unemerge  inkscape, the other 12 packages
are also removed?


curiously,
James

Re: [gentoo-user] Conflicting version...but the version scheme is confusing...

2019-11-29 Thread Franz Fellner
inkscape-0.92.4 has the same issue.
The problem is that the API (Programming interface, not Binary interface)
between imagemagick-6 and imagemagick-7 isn't compatible.
And inkscape never was updated to use the API from imagemagick-7.
That's why you are forced to downgrade imagemagick to a version lower than
7 when you want to use imagemagick in inkscape.
If you want to stay with imagemagick >=7 you have two options:
1) entirely disable imagemagick for inkscape, e.g. with "media-gfx/inkscape
-imagemagick" in package.use
2) Use inkscape-1.0.0_beta1 and enable both USE-Flags "imagemagick
graphicsmagick".
That way you will get the imagemagick features through graphicsmagick,
which means imagemagick is not a dependency of inkscape anymore.

[gentoo-user] InkScape trouble

2006-03-26 Thread Meino Christian Cramer

Hi,

 I did:
 emerge -p -v inkscape

 which gaves me a couple of lines of output but nothing flagged as
 source of trouble, nothing, blocked, masked or such...

 Ok, I thought, let's go!

 emerge inkscape

 ...the CPU was glowing hot for a while

 then...it was ready.

 As normal user I did:

 # inkscape

 Ok, InkScape thought, let's crash!

 BADABOOM!

 That's it.

 Please tell me, what I did so badly wrong here, since anything else I
 emerge exactly in the same way in the last days, either works well out
 of the box or failed to compile right in the beginning.

 (PS: I checked for any config-files of InkScape at home and removed
 them several times -- no chance)

 Slightly astonished,

Yes, that's exactly the problem.  

media-gfx/inkscape-0.92.4 which is presently the stable version is quite happy 
with media-gfx/imagemagick-7.0.9.5.

However, the unstable version of inkscape-1.0_beta1 requires imagemagick 
versions prior to 7.0.9.5, with the currently available version of 
imagemagick-6.9.10.74 fulfilling the requirement.

The inkscape package is the dog and imagemagick (a dependency) is the tail.  
Usually the dog wags the tail and not the other way around.  However, portage 
is asking for inkscape to be keyworded to a testing beta version for what 
appears to me to be no good reason.  Portage should keep inkscape at the 
stable 0.92.4 version, with imagemagick at 6.9.10.74, on a system which is 
running stable packages.

If you do this, you'll find that conversions and imports/exports from one 
graphics file format to another would be somewhat limited.  Imagemagick relies 
on inkscape for this functionality.

Right, but graphicsmagick is more limited in its functionality than 
imagemagick.  For a poweruser of imagemagick this may present a problem - but 
I don't know how big a problem it might be.

While I was chasing my tail around this clash hoping portage would eventually 
get it right, I seem to recall a more recent combo.  When inkscape-1.0_beta1 
is keyworded, portage is asking to also keyword imagemagick-*.  I assume 
the trunk has a version which works with inkscape-1.0_beta1, but I'm not sure.

For now I just exclude inkscape from upgrades until the dust on this settles.

[gentoo-user] inkscape crashed when open/save file

Hello, everyone!

I emerged inkscape recently. The emerging process finished without

I'm not sure why imagemagick is asking to be downgraded, or for that matter

inkscape-1.0_beta is in testing (~arch) so if your gentoo install is not

Also, it depends on:

Ah. It's 7.0.8.5, not 7.0.9.5:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/663468#c5
Some deprecated features of the API were removed. Unfortunately also the
pkgconfig file was renamed to Magick++ which made inkscape silently disable
imagemagick support and the compilation failure/incompatibility wasn't
noticed for a long time.

The other way around, inkscape needs imagemagick for such conversions.

I don't know how limiting it will be. If all you want to do is create pure
vector graphics you are good to go.

You aren't forced to build graphicsmagick as a complete replacement for
imagemagick.
You only need the C++-API for inkscape and not the commandline tools.
Put "media-gfx/graphicsmagick cxx -imagemagick" in your package.use and
imagemagick and graphicsmagick can be installed at the same time.

Roughly speaking,

So, say you install package A, and it depends on new packages B and C.
When you uninstall package A, packages B and C remain. When you use

Remove the -p to have portage go ahead and try to remove them. (But

Thanks Nikos, I am still confused if the tail is wagging the dog with this 
one.  It is a stable arch, so inkscape should stay stable and not asking me to 
keyword it, especially as its reverse dependency is stable at a higher 
version.  Consequently, imagemagick would stay at the latest stable version 
too.

Anyway, I removed imagemagick from the world file and now portage is no longer 
asking for either inkscape or imagemagick to be emerged.

With an '<' in front of it (and it has), it means that
inkscape-1.0_beta1 needs imagemagick <= 7 i.e. some 6.x version ... 

Basically it means you should mask that inkscape beta. Add e.g.

=media-gfx/inkscape-1.0_beta1

to /etc/portage/package.mask[/*].

Or (better) un-keyword ~amd64 inkscape, then you should stay at the
(now) stable 0.92.4.

  Other graphics apps open at the same time (e.g. Gimp) do not have such
  problems rendering graphics (albeit not svg).

 I don't suppose you have a ton of fonts installed? I've had Inkscape
 lock up for like 5 minutes at a time when it was loading the font list
 (either at startup or when opening the text dialog).

No, although I do have a few fonts and a couple extra in ~/.fonts, but the 
application opens straight away.  The image does not have fonts in it and it 
opens reasonably fast.  As soon the user zooms in or pan around the image then 
the slow rendering starts.

I have now looked a bit more into this problem and it seems that inkscape is 
slower in MSWindows (dual boot machine).  So I concluded that this is an 
inkscape issue, rather than Gentoo specific.

Also, googling around it seems that zooming in a lot (more than 1000%) or 
using many filters (as this user is on the particular image) slows down 
inkscape:

http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=5t=8721

As suggested in the thread above, a work around until the inkscape code is 
improved is to change the View mode to 'No Filters'.  This trick restores 
rendering speed to reasonable levels.

 I would have sworn I had inkscape installed without skencil and could
 still export to EPS.

I looked into it. It is for importing PS and EPS files. And according
to the documentation on their website, inkscape 0.47 changed to using
Ghostscript for the importing. A bug has already been filed against
the ebuild.

Hi Remy,

that helped !

To be honest ... I never had deduced this from the error message.
Is this pure experience...somehing one had to learn after uears
of trying to cope with The Portage Oracle...or is it one has

You can convert the PDF files to SVG before loading to Inkscape, if the

use media-gfx/pdf2svg for that.

 Roughly speaking,

 Remove the -p to have portage go ahead and try to remove them. (But

If you do see packages that you want to keep, but aren't required by
anything else, you can manually add them to your world file (usually

--depclean in the future. IIRC, I had to do that to keep portage from

[gentoo-user] Imagemagick downgrade?

Having re-synced portage it now asks me to keyword media-gfx/

imagemagick from the installed 7.0.8.67 to 6.9.10.67.

I'm not sure why imagemagick is asking to be downgraded, or for that matter 
why inkscape should be keyworded:

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Hi, man 5 ebuild tells us that:

 = Indicates that any slot value is acceptable. In addition, for runtime
   dependencies, indicates that the package will break unless a matching
   package with slot and sub-slot equal to the slot and sub-slot of the best
   installed version at the time the package was installed is available.

In this it case means that inkscape wants the same slot version of
imagemagick as it was present in the system at the time inkscape got
emerged.  So if you update imagemagick to a higher slot, inkscape will
break and needs to be rebuilt.  The rebuild should have been
automatically scheduled by emerge.  I am not sure why it did not but
you have probably too many other conflicts and emerge got lost in that
mess. ;-)  It usually helps if you make all the USE flag and keyword
changes that emerge wants you to do first.  If it does not help then
unmerge inkscape and emerge it again after update.

This looks like python is going to be updated.  Again, try to make all
the USE flags and keyword changes (they are usually printed at the
end of emerge's error output).  Then try to increase backtrack value
with --backtrack parameter.

Thank you, the efl and inkscape emerge problems were resolved.  As you 
suggested it was a matter of emerging packages in the correct order, which is 
something I thought revdep-rebuild was doing.  I resumed emerge with --skip-
first and at the end I emerged these packages manually, without further 
problems.

He's just masking all Python single targets (-* = disable all)  except  for  one

  I usually use

emerge --pretend --fetchonly media-gfx/inkscape  files_to_fetch.txt

or in a short form

emerge -fp media-gfx/inkscape  files_to_fetch.txt

And after that I download the files with wget as follows:

cat files_to_fetch.txt | cut -d  -f 1| wget -c -i -

Note: if there are some errors during download, you may try to use
different fields in 'cut' -- like -f 2 or -f 3 and so on.

  Hope, this helps. :)

dev-cpp/cairomm seems like the most likely candidate as its files are
mentioned in Nikos' and your build errors, so try rebuilding that one first.

He doesn't, it is set for inkscape. However, that trailing ) shouldn't be
there. I doubt it is the cause of the problem, but it's worth cleaning up
anyway.

You should probably be using inkscape instead. I'm not sure skencil is
maintained. 

BTW, I have the exact same problem with skencil.

[gentoo-user] inkscape fails, cannot find boost

Dear list, 

Just want a sanity check. I try to emerge the most recent version of

configuration stage

`qcheck boost' returns that all 7000+ files are good, and

Any thoughts what can be given me problems?

 Ghostscript does this, but is unable to convert gradients and fills
 (they're replaced by bitmaps) which results in a too big file unless I
 drastically reduce quality.
 

Have you tried inkscape? it is in portage.

 a number of packages depend on imagemagick, such as Inkscape,
 Frescobaldi and some LaTeX related stuff. I wanted to take a look at
 Octave, but this positively wants graphicsmagick, which is a fork of

It seems you can install graphicsmagick along with imagemagick, if the
imagemagick USE flag ist not set.

   You can convert the PDF files to SVG before loading to Inkscape, if the

   use media-gfx/pdf2svg for that.
   What I do nowadays (if I have a PDF to fill that has no forms), is to

 What I'm looking for I think it is called stitching two pdf files.
 

I use something like:

use pdf2ps to covert the files to postscript
use psjoin to stich them together
use ps2pdf to get back to pdf

psjoin is a script at http://homepage3.nifty.com/tsato/tools/psjoin.html

I vaguely remember seeing this.  I couldn't recall the fix so I went
digging.  I found this:

/etc/portage/package.use/package.use:media-gfx/imagemagick cxx

It seems I added the cxx USE flag for that package to correct the
problem.  Might be worth a try. 

Hope that helps.

Check and see if running emerge @preserved-rebuild rebuilds anything. 
If it does, try again after it finishes.  If not, no idea.  Maybe
someone else will come along with a idea.

OK, I tried updating poppler to 0.52.0 which then wanted to re-emerge 
inkscape, but inkscape failed too:

 You should probably be using inkscape instead.

I was afraid of that.  Inkscape is a bloated monster that's going to
pull in another dozen or two packages.  I guess if that's the only
choice...

 I'm not sure skencil is maintained.

Apparently not.  There's a fork named sk1 that's still somewhat
active, but it's got its own problem.  Most notably, there's no
batch-mode export.  There's a program called uniconvertor that
supposedly uses the sk1 engine to convert between various vector
graphics files, but it can't even read an sk1 file.

 BTW, I have the exact same problem with skencil.

Apparently skencil is not compatible with tk 8.5.

After attempting to use sk1 for a few minutes, I've given up on it. 
It crashes regularly. Exporting to a .eps file just plain doesn't work
(it writes 'sk1' format data to the file). 

The user interface is full of breakage: if you export a drawing and
then do a 'save', it overwrites the _exported_ file rather than saving
in the original drawing file.

It also spews a constant stream of errors and tracebacks when doing
anything at all.

 Now this is interesting, inkscape apparently depends on skencil for
 postscript support?

Looks that way, though I'm not sure exactly what it uses skencil for.
I would have sworn I had inkscape installed without skencil and could
still export to EPS.

 Somehow this doesn't bode well to me...

Nope.

That's weird; they look fine for me [1,2]. As yo say, they have different

Well, that does seem relevant.  Since you accept testing versions, it

[gentoo-user] OT: Choosing a graphics tablet

2009-06-12 Thread Florian Philipp
Hi list!

I'm thinking about buying a graphics tablet to facilitate my work with
Dia and Inkscape. The price tag should be below EUR 100.

At the moment, I'm wondering if I should go with a Wacom or an Aiptek.
Are they similarly good (bad?) supported on Linux?

Any gotchas with xorg-server-1.5.3's new don't configure me, I

[gentoo-user] gentoo extras cd

2005-09-01 Thread Justin Kelly
Hi All,

Ive been using Gentoo PPC for a while, and as a dial-up user find to
difficult to download all the packages i want(just takes to long), is
there anything like the Packages CD but more :)

Does anyone know if a 3rd party/or gentoo provides such a thing? I
don't mind paying for such a CD/DVD.

ie. So i can just emerge -K inkscape etc..., all the useful desktop
type packages that aren't included in the packages CD.

Thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated.

[gentoo-user] problem with gimp, firefox and inkscape

2009-10-09 Thread Platoali
Hi,

I've a strange problem with some of my applications. the problem is when I 
want open a file in inkscape  or gimp, or  when I want to select a file  in 
firefox to attach the select file appears and then the whole application 
crashes with this error:

Emergency save completed. Inkscape will close now.
If you can reproduce this crash, please file a bug at www.inkscape.org
with a detailed description of the steps leading to the crash, so we can fix 
it.
Segmentation fault


or gimp: 

(script-fu:24851): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: script-fu: gimp_wire_read(): error
Segmentation fault

I've also done two sync and also  deep-new_use update and  tried revdev-
rebuild which they did nothing. I  also ran a memtest to check if faulty 
memory is the reason. But all the test passed without any problem.

I don't have any problem with kde applications and also OpenOffice or Vlc. It 
seems that it is a gtk problem. I can open files when I pass them as a command 
line argument. 

 I've opened a bug few days ago. But it seem that I'm the only one that have 
this problem. No one made any comment or voted for my bug. this is getting a 
little bit annoying. Specially in Firefox.

Would anyone give me a clue what the problem is?

That's the odd part. The warning is just that, it is portage telling you
why it is not upgrading imagemagick to the latest version. I can't see
anything in the output you have posted that explains portage's desire to
continually reinstall the same version of imagemagick.

I think it was suggested earlier, but have you tried setting the
graphicsmagick flag for inkscape?

  was subtle enough that I didn't realize until yesterday that I even had

  If anyone can splain what introspection does I'd be grateful.

 Alan did a fine job explaining what introspection is in general. In
 Gentoo, the introspection flag is only used by GObject based
 libraries; all the languages that natively supports introspection does
 it inconditionally, and (as far as I am aware) GObject is the only C
 object oriented library that provides introspection.

 Some years ago, you could get away without activating it, but nowadays
 is for all practical purposes mandatory. At least this is the case for
 GNOME 3; but I would not be surprised if it's also the case for
 basically any GObject based software; that covers all GTK+ 2 and 3
 applications. The instrospection infrastructure is not only used (as
 Alan mentioned) to look inside a compiled class; it's also part of
 the automatic binding generation for other programming languages used
 by all GObject libraries (or at lest that's what I understand, please
 correct me if I'm wrong). Therefore, if you use Inkscape, for example,
 you'll need introspection since Inkscape is wrote in C++ using the
 gtk-- bindings.

 In general, I would recommend not to set USE=-* (an opinion shared
 by basically all Gentoo devs and most rational people), and let the
 default use flags to do their magic. But everyone is free to break
 their systems as they please.

Re: [gentoo-user] Linux design software recommendations

 Does anyone have any recommendations for something similar to what

 of what I want?

there's no professional CAD for linux, especially for woodworking:
http://www.ribbonsoft.com/de/qcad.html

A commercial solution is VariCAD, but it's mainly for the engineering 
market.

Besides xfig, there's qcad, a simple 2D only CAD system. You can even 
try Inkscape CVS which supports snapping to object borders and edges.

There has been a specialized woodworking CAD called LignumCAD, but the 
author stopped some years ago due to some real life circumstances. 
See lingunmcad.sf.net for details. It's 3D, uses openGL for rendering 
and mainly consists of a set of parametric objects.

If you do see packages that you want to keep, but aren't required by

[gentoo-user] Add hyperlinks to PDF?

2016-04-09 Thread Daniel Frey
Is there any open source tool to add hyperlinks to a PDF? I've scanned a
manual of mine to put on my tablet and used pdftk to assemble all the
individual PDFs and generate bookmarks, but it doesn't seem to be able
to add links.

All I'm trying to do is link to pages in the same PDF.

libreoffice imports a PDF but it doesn't import the bookmarks properly,
so on export everything is overwritten.

I'm not trying to modify the pages (i.e. the text) itself, just add links.

I'm currently compiling inkscape, but I've read it "imports" PDF so I'm
not so hopeful it will work as my experience with libreoffice wasn't so
good.

 Are there any tools/editors to edit a pdf or ps file?  I am digitizing

 could convert to plain text, edit in OOo and export to PDF.  However, I
 lose all formatting doing that.

 I was hoping there were tools/editors for PDF/PS.  What the heck do book
 writers use?  I hope not a word processor.  I am only working with small
 books and it is a pain to have to deal with layout.
 
 You could open it up in vi and guess about what's going on, or you could
 learn the postscript language. (:  Otherwise, there's inkscape and
 scribus that will write to PDF.  I don't know what's so hard about
 reading in PDF files if you can write out to them.  Good luck.

Thanks Justin.  I am going to give scribus/inkscape a shot.

If it helps any, Scribus is a lot like Quark, that real expensive
program that newspapers and magizines use.  It takes a bitof getting
used to but it does a really good job.
