I experienced this problem with Ubuntu 11.10 and hoped that would be fixed in 12.04 LTS. Unfortunately, I can confirm that it still happens in 12.04. I sum up the behaviour of my system: - EOG and all the desktop seems freezed when I try to open any image with EOG (the EOG image loading progress bar usually fills partially) - when the desktop is freezed: - I can still move the mouse pointer - ctrl+alt+F1 does not work - I can log into the system from a ssh session and restart gdm, and it works again - using other programs like f-spot, shotwell etc., the same images are opened correctly
I agree that this is a critical bug, because it affects the default image viewer for Ubuntu and it can cause loss of data. I would also point out that the issue happens with images of different size, so I would change the bug title, that is about "large" image files Let me know if I have to provide any further information Running Ubuntu 12.04LTS and graphics Intel 82852/855GM -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to eog in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/877279 Title: EOG - Image viewer hangs system when opening large image file Status in “eog” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Since upgrade to 11.10, opening large jpg image files causes system to hang.
