[Bug 1476705] Re: [SOLVED] postscript printer hideously slow in some cases (pdftops)

2015-07-25 Thread James Cloos
Gimp is also, for now, limited to srgb, so anything coming from gimp
will work fine with cairo.

And, for a postscript printer, jpegs should be converted directly to ps,
not via pdf, so that wouldn't matter either.

But if you used a workflow which used, say, AdobeRGB as the colour
working space, and published to pdf, then you would want to avoid cairo.

Or if you used a workflow which ends up with a CMYK pdf.

But if everything you do is in sRGB or grayscale, then pdftocairo is
fine for you.

[Bug 1476705] Re: [SOLVED] postscript printer hideously slow in some cases (pdftops)

2015-07-24 Thread James Cloos
pdftocairo is limited by the fact that cairo only handles sRGB.

It is therefore unsuitable any time color is important, eg if the pdf
uses cmyk or named colors or icc profiles, et cetera.

It is fine for printing most web pages, since the browser likely also is
limited to sRGB.

And for simple personal or office documents, all momochrome document and
the like.

But pdftops is better for more general documents, and therefore makes
better sence for the default filter.

pdftops and pdftocairo are both from poppler.

pdftops is based on the original xpdf code and does not use cairo at
all.

modern cairo tries to limit the size of tranparency groups to just where
it is needed.

This is still present in vivid.

Switching to the performance govenor, removing the drive and re-adding

Something must be blocking power to the xhci when the cpu is saving

[Bug 1357920] Re: Xerox Phaser 8560DN reboots as soon as I bring up the Print requester

2014-08-22 Thread James Cloos
The cups log shows that you configured the printer as an IPP printer.
(Or that something did so for you.)

Try configuring it as a socket printer (sending the postscript to port
9100).

You may need to use the printer’s web interface or control panel to
enable port9100 if you have disabled it.

Your description suggests that the printer cannot handle the way cups
uses ipp to ask for its capabilities.

Perhaps it only supports an older version of ipp?

Older versions of cups used snmp to gather some data from networked
printers.  The move to use ipp instead has value, but is not compatible
with all existing printers.

2014-08-22 Thread James Cloos
Ah.  I didn’t intially read every comment.

I suspect that the method cups now uses to discover network attached printers 
is what triggers the crash/reboot.
It will ipp-query any it finds which advertise ipp capability in lieu of 
requiring PPD files to specify the printer’s capabilities.  That is why the 
printer did not need to be configured to trigger the access pattern it cannot 
handle.

Till would have a better handle on that part of cups, especially as
packaged by ubuntu.

[Bug 1317599] Re: Evince doesn't show fi-ligatures in a pdf file

2014-05-30 Thread James Cloos
The bug is in fontconfig.

Fontconfig added the Gyre font names to the list of suitable
replacements for the base PostScript fonts because the shapes and
metrics are compatible.

What they didn’t notice (until the bug reports started) is that the Gyre
authors use the names /f_i, /f_l, /f_f, /f_f_i and /f_f_l for the
f-ligs, whereas the original PS fonts — which predate the current glyph
name best practices — used the names /fi, /fl.

When rendering a pdf file which uses fonts but does not embed them or
embed subsets of them, the renderer needs to find a substitute.  If
fontconfig is used to find such a substitute, and it returns a font
which lacks the glyph names said renderer wants — even if it has the
glyphs under a different name ­— the desired glyph will not get painted.

Ideally, renderers would notice that the glyph name they want is
unavailable and look for alternate names.  Or in the case of a known
ligature fall back to the un-ligated glyphs.  But that hasn’t been
written.

The quick fix is to limit font equivilents to those which also have the
same glyph naming scheme.

Fontconfig did that in commit c6aa4d4bfc, in responce to the freedesktop
bug report noted above.

Distributions should make the same change in their fontconfig packaging.


Distributions should do the same.

I missed the earlier report.

I went from memory on the package version number; ssh -V reports 6.6.1p1
but as you found dpkg says 1:6.6p1-4.

I hope that helps the case for getting it into trusty.

That is the correct patch from deb’s package.

[Bug 1313865] [NEW] Need to update 6.6p1 to 6.6.1p1

2014-04-28 Thread James Cloos
Public bug reported:

A patch for 6.6p1 was posted on the openssh list fixing a bug in the
25519 negotiation and changing the reported version to 6.6.1p1.

Future versions of openssh, version 6.6.1p1 itself, and other ssh
software, such as libssh, will refuse to speak 25519 to anything which
identifies itself as openssh 6.6p1or 6.5p1.

The patch was posted for the express purpose of providing an easy update
for 6.6p1 to avoid this bug.

Debian has updated sid to 6.6.1p1, and that should copy over to jessie
soon.  You can see their git for the details.

Both utopic and trusty should get this update quickly.  And in trusty
itself, not just -updates or -backports; notwithstanding the edit to the
reported version it is a bug fix for 6.6p1.

Any backports or updates repos which have 6.6p1 also should get the
update to 6.6.1p1.

2013-12-06 Thread James Cloos
Public bug reported:

When /etc/localtime is protected from manipulation, such as with the
immutable flag — something which is often required when leasing
virtuals, to keep the vendors’ frameworks from screwing with the
filesystem — an update to tzdata will crap out, killing dpkg and apt,
which leaves the tty a mess.

Instead, should it be impossible to overwrite the existing
/etc/localtime, the script should continue without error.

[Bug 277404] Re: hp laserjet postscript text print does not print some characters

2009-03-21 Thread James Cloos
[I posted this to the poppler bug, but it may be of interest here, too.
-JimC]

The reason the level3 ghostscript generates does not cause the problem
is that ghostscript’s level3 is essentially the same as its level2; only
the name of the procset is different.

Xpdf, OTOH, does generate different code for level2 and level3.

The significant difference seen in ps generated from the posted example
pdf is that xpdf, when generating level3 ps, embeds CID keyed fonts as
CID keyed fonts.

The question, then, is:  do the HP printers have bugs when dealing with
CID keyed type42 fonts in PostScript jobs, or is Xpdf’s CID-related PS
code buggy?  A related question is whether CID keyed type1 fonts also
have problems.  The test would be to send the printer pstopdf -level3
output of a PDF which has CID keyed cff fonts embedded.  (I can generate
such a test job, if anyone is interested, but do not have access to a PS
printer to test it on.)
