[Bug 1006592] New: Okular no longer displaying eps files (since 42.1 upgrade on 22/10/16)
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1006592 Bug ID: 1006592 Summary: Okular no longer displaying eps files (since 42.1 upgrade on 22/10/16) Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 42.1 Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE 42.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE Applications Assignee: opensuse-kde-bugs@opensuse.org Reporter: djw@soton.ac.uk QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: Customer Blocker: --- I use Okular a lot to display eps files from plotting programs under development. Its advantage is that it automatically displays the latest version of a plot. I also update openSUSE 42.1 at the end of most weeks. I did so on Friday 14th October. At that point I am fairly certain that there was no problem. I next updated the system on Saturday 22 October. When I next tried to use it I found that Okular will no longer display eps files - although if they are converted to pdf form (using ps2pdf) the pdf file displays correctly -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Strange. There hasn't been an update to Okular or KDE in general in 42.1 (except a security fix for kcoreaddons that's unlikely to cause this). There has been an update to ghostscript though, which okular uses for displaying postscript files (via libspectre). Can you display the file with gs? Does reverting the ghostscript update fix the problem? Maybe the ghostscript update broke libspectre. Evince uses that as well AFAICS, so it may be helpful to try whether this is affected too. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Evince fails to open with ghostscript 9.15-8.1 but is OK with 9.15-5.1.
Thanks for testing that as well. As gs itself can open the file, it's more likely that libspectre has problems with the ghostscript update I suppose. libspectre is maintained by the GNOME team AFAICS, so re-assigning to them for further investigation. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Tumbleweed has a newer libspectre (0.2.8), but even installing this version from X11:common:Factory doesn't fix the problem.
What does fix the problem though is installing ghostscript 9.20 from the Printing repo (that even works with 13.2's libspectre 0.2.7 now). So it would seem to me that something is missing/broken in the ghostscript update, and that breaks libspectre. CC'ing the ghostscript maintainer. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

releasing for openSUSE, all done
Except that the update for 13.2 has not been released yet. And actually, when I look at the mainenance project, it only contains the patchinfo, but not the actual update... https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/openSUSE:Maintenance:5820 Apparently something went wrong there? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Please reopen - okular in Leap 42.3 with all updates fails to display simple ps file
Instead of "test' text on a blank page it displays 2 pages of garbage characters
Console output shows: undefined -21 load glyph failed err=15 face=0x1bb3c90, glyph=3247
This looks completely unrelated to the original problem reported here, so please open a new bug report. I have no problems opening PS files here on 42.3 either though. "load glyph failed" might point to a font problem? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
