[Bug 907833] New: Evince/Okular (anything using Ghostscript) cannot show eps, ps files
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=907833 Bug ID: 907833 Summary: Evince/Okular (anything using Ghostscript) cannot show eps, ps files Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 13.1 Version: Final Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE 13.1 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Printing Assignee: jsmeix@suse.com Reporter: robin.roth@kit.edu QA Contact: jsmeix@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0 Build Identifier: With ghostscript 9.07 I cann't open .ps and .eps files in evince. The error in the terminal is "undefined -21". Also okular ang geeqie don't work. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install openSUSE 13.1 with all current updates 2. try to open a .ps/.eps file. A broken example is: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/1159931/+attachment/35... Actual Results: Viewer fails. Symptom depends on the viewer: Evince: undefined -21 Okular: okular(14829)/okular (Spectre) GSRendererThread::run: Generated image does not match wanted size: [0x0] vs requested [736x952] QImage::scaled: Image is a null image undefined -21 Expected Results: Viewer shows .ps/.eps This bug appears to be related to what is reported and fixed at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/1159931 and http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=693843 The workaround using LANG does not fix the bug here. At least for me, upgrading to ghostscript 9.15 helps. Because viewing .ps files is one of the main features of evince/... I'd suggest an upgrade of ghostscript in openSUSE 13.1. As far as their changelog shows, there are no backwardincompatibilities reported between 9.07 and 9.15 and regarding dependencies only the core ghostscript packages are affected: cups-filters-ghostscript, ghostscript, ghostscript-x11 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

In all three cases it shows the content of try.ps in a separated window. But evince fails to show try.ps when a locale is used where the decimal mark is a comma ',': -------------------------------------------------------------------------- $ export LC_ALL=C ; export LANG=C $ evince /tmp/try.ps [works o.k.] $ export LC_ALL=de_DE ; export LANG=de_DE $ evince /tmp/try.ps undefined -21 ... EvinceDocument-CRITICAL ... failed $ export LC_ALL=en_US ; export LANG=en_US $ evince /tmp/try.ps [works o.k] -------------------------------------------------------------------------- This shows that evince somehow uses Ghostscript in a special way (perhaps indirectly via lipspectre) that triggers the issue because Ghostscript itself can show try.ps in any casae. I cannot reproduce that evince fails to show try.ps when a locale is used where the decimal mark is '.' I.e. for me the workaround using a locale where the decimal mark is '.' works. As far as I can reproduce it it is exactly http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=693843 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 859554 *** -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
