The corresponding maximum file size in this tab is appropriate (much larger than the pdfs, about 5MB), and changing the option "Use embedded thumbnails" does not affect the problem. Also, I am convinced that dolphin is actively trying to get the thumbnail: gs becomes active shortly after navigating to a pdf directory, and xsession-errors shows the message (among others, see attachment above): dolphin(10961)/kio (KIOJob) KIO::SlaveInterface::dispatch: error 104 "Cannot create thumbnail for /home/testo2/a.pdf" gs/gv/ghostview alone can display the pdfs without problems, however with the following console output: Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: apLineDel Warning: ... found while parsing '<Key>apLineDel: GV_Page(page+5) ' Warning: String to TranslationTable conversion encountered errors *** Warning: GenericResourceDir doesn't point to a valid resource directory. the -sGenericResourceDir=... option can be used to set this. Also, gnome file manager has no problems with the thumbnails (which are presumably also generated using gs). Therefore, in my opinion something seems wrong in the communication between kio_thumbnail and gs -- possibly something broke during update from 11.2. However, I am currently stuck on where to look next for the problem. I would be grateful for any ideas where to look in order to trace the problem (relevant log files/related packages to reinstall/relevant system-wide config files/...). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I assume this means the bug can be marked fixed (despite its persistence in 11.3)? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

From comment #3, "gsthumbnail" was the main suspicious faulty file. This

Making a string command against this file, shows up that is calling ghostscript to create the miniatures. me@machine:~> strings /usr/lib64/kde4/gsthumbnail.so .. -sDEVICE=png16m -sOutputFile=- -dSAFER -dPARANOIDSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dFirstPage=1 -dLastPage=1 .. Ghostscript was installed and updated from /distribution/11.3/repo/oss/, and the version in use was me@machine:~> rpm -qa | grep ghost ghostscript-library-8.70-15.1.1.x86_64 ghostscript-fonts-std-8.70-15.1.1.x86_64 ghostscript-x11-8.70-15.1.1.x86_64 ghostscript-cjk-20050315-149.1.noarch ghostscript-fonts-other-8.70-15.1.1.x86_64 And this package, when called always complain about a missing default dir. So I decided to search for an improved version, from /repositories/Printing:/ghostscript/openSUSE_11.3/ me@machine:~> rpm -qa | grep ghost ghostscript-fonts-other-9.00-51.2.noarch ghostscript-library-9.00-51.2.x86_64 ghostscript-cjk-20050315-149.1.noarch ghostscript-fonts-std-9.00-51.2.noarch ghostscript-x11-9.00-51.2.x86_64 ghostscript-fonts-rus-9.00-51.2.noarch And now every thumb for PDF / PS files are fine. So I will mark this bug as solved, and think about (maybe) opening a bug for ghostscript. -- [--------------------------------------------------------------------] [ Prof. Andrés Augusto Nogueiras Meléndez ] [ Electronic Technology Department University of Vigo ] [ Campus Lagoas Marcosende, 9 http://www.dte.uvigo.es/ ] [ 36310 - Vigo, Pontevedra Spain ] [ tel: +34 986 812 091 fax: +34 986 811 987 ] [ blog : http://conapt3967c.blogspot.com/ ] [--------------------------------------------------------------------] -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
