[Bug 1159931] Re: Evince not rendering Postscript files
Hi, Just to say that I have the same bug. It is affecting me in the latest Ubuntu release as it is in the latest Lubuntu. The setting of the variable is not a proper solution. Isn't there another way to fix this and behave more automatically? I made a simple script to call evince/okular with the setting of the variable, but whenever I want to directly view a ps file from an email attachment or any other program that call okular/evince It's a mess. Ps. I wonder why I only notice this bug today. I normally use this a lot and I am almost certain that this was working until very recently... -- 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
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

[Bug 1159931] Re: Evince not rendering Postscript files
According the bug upstream this is a problem in ghostscript 9.07 which is not handling the decimal separator correctly, when it is set locally as , instead of . by some languages. See: http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=693843 A workaround until it is fixed is to set the regional formats of the language support to a language where the decimal separator is the dot ., for instance English. ** No longer affects: evince ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #61506 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61506 ** Also affects: evince via https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61506 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Bug watch added: Ghostscript (AFPL) Bugzilla #693843 http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=693843 ** Also affects: libspectre via https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61506 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** No longer affects: evince ** Also affects: gs-gpl via http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=693843 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- 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
