Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gs-common
In Ubuntu Feisty Fawn Nautilus has a preview for EPS-figures.
Nautilus and many other programs such as Evince, Lyx, etc. use gs to
convert these figures.
After the dist-upgrade gs results in a very high hard disk use/load that
it effectily blocks the hard disk and any other system activity. The
user has no other option than reboot.
A workaround is:
1) start galternatives
2) select gs in the right pane
3) choose gs-gpl instead of gs-esp as a default
=> now it works well.
I mark this as a security issue since I had do a forced reboot via text
terminal to access my computer again due to the high hard disk load cause by
the misconfiguration.
Note that in edgy eft all worked well!
