[Bug 1256414] Re: evince rotion bug with postscript files
Thanks for the reminder. I can confirm that with the current Xubuntu 14.04.1 LTS, evince 3.10.3 has no longer rendering problems when rotating a document. While this is nice, it looks to me as it was solved by chance. I think to improve a distro users should get the impression that bugs are cared for and solutions are actively looked for. When I as an experienced sytsem administrator fight to stay motivated reporting bugs (which is the case, unfortunately), there is a problem. Ubuntu needs the desktop - and with Unity and its still lacking configuration options, the little care for even the LTS project and the current focus this is not the right attitude. Ubuntu/Debian and derivatives may still be the best desktop solution - but in former times the product was more stable and functional than today - despite the enormous advancements. The bug can be closed - but the bug tracking can be shown to not be effective just with this little (and boring) example. JMB Without feedback, you cannot learn. -- Richard M.

[Bug 1256414] [NEW] evince rotion bug with postscript files
Public bug reported: Hi, I ran in a problem with the final version of Xubuntu Saucy Salamander (the flavour should not decisive in this case ... just for clarification). evince is not able to render a side-viewed document (1x rotation left/right), while 2x rotation (i.e. upside-down) works. gv as well as okula both don't have any problem with rotation und 13.10 - the same is true for evince in Xubuntu 13.04 (when started as workaround for a known problem with `LANG=en_US evince'). Output: evince mydocument.ps (evince:3776): EvinceDocument-CRITICAL **: ev_document_get_n_pages: assertion 'EV_IS_DOCUMENT (document)' failed (evince:3776): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_from_surface: assertion 'width 0 height 0' failed (evince:3776): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget `EvView': invalid matrix (not invertible) (evince:3776): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget `EvView': invalid matrix (not invertible) Many thanks for your help - a fix or at least workaround for 13.10 would be much appreciated.

[Bug 1159931] Re: Evince not rendering Postscript files
After a little bit of experimenting I found a valid workaround for me: LANG=en_US evince name.ps (which is also soltion for the search-problem in current google-earth). Nevertheless one should fix this nasty regression for those users not accustomed to setting variables, looking through forums and bug trackers etc. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1159931 Title: Evince not rendering Postscript files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gs-gpl/+bug/1159931/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1159931] Re: Evince not rendering Postscript files
I don`t understand while a bug known for so long seems to be still present in Xubuntu 13.04. If ghostscript is the problem why is the buggy version still in use? Or do I encounter a different problem? Additional, the workaround (comment #11) given above is not effective (at least not for me): $ echo $LANG en_US.UTF-8 evince name.ps EvinceDocument-CRITICAL **: ev_document_misc_pixbuf_from_surface: assertion `surface' failed export LANG=C $ echo $LANG C evince name.ps EvinceDocument-CRITICAL **: ev_document_misc_pixbuf_from_surface: assertion `surface' failed Is there an effective workaround known (commandliner would be appreciated)? Any fixed/improved packages available via PPA (if not generally)? Or are users forced to use gv (it still works - so many users may use it as workaround - but I really would like to use evince for PS viewing)? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1159931 Title: Evince not rendering Postscript files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gs-gpl/+bug/1159931/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
