Description Michal Jaegermann 2005-02-28 19:38:08 UTC

Description of problem:

In a directory /usr/share/ghostscript/7.07/examples/ after
typing

  evince tiger.ps

I get a picture of a tiger but now after File->Open from a menu
and picking up some other file I get on a terminal:

failed to read() from server connection

(evince:5635): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: value "-1" of type `gint' is
invalid or out of range for property `current-page' of type `gint'

(evince:5635): Gdk-WARNING **: gdkdrawable-x11.c:972 drawable is not a
pixmap or window

(evince:5635): Gdk-WARNING **: gdkdrawable-x11.c:972 drawable is not a
pixmap or window

and there is only some distorted minature of a desired picture
in a newly opened window.

BTW - even when evince sort-of works it is not getting even close
to now relegated gv where showing a picture is only a minor part
of functionality.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
evince-0.1.5-1

How reproducible:
100%

Comment 1 Marco Pesenti Gritti 2005-02-28 21:58:29 UTC

Fixed upstream, will be in the next release

If you miss functionalities in evince please post bug reports about them.

Comment 2 Michal Jaegermann 2005-03-05 00:34:06 UTC

With evince-0.1.5-2 the following message was _added_ to a collection
above:

*** glibc detected *** evince: free(): invalid next size (fast):
0x0000000000a30b60 ***

and otherwise the situation did not change a bit.

Eh?  This is serious?  AFAICS evince does not have any functionality
beyond to show a picture, send it to some printer and not really
controllable zoom which does not quite work (requests to return
to a normal size are silently ignored).  Once at least that will
start to work, more or less, then I will write "missing functionality"
report.  Right now it is not exactly clear what is supposed to work.

Besides it is hard to guess what it may really do.  A full description
reads:  "evince is a GNOME-based document viewer" but it refused
to open /usr/share/doc/evince-0.1.5/ChangeLog document,
/usr/share/doc/evince-0.1.5/README is exactly of a zero length,
these two are the only things which show up with 'rpm -qd evince'
and "Help->Contents" menu entry is causing no reaction at all.

0.1.5-2 is just a rebuild with gcc4. The bug is fixed in 0.1.6 which
should be available in rawhide next week.

Random rants in unrelated bug reports are not going to be very useful.
If you care, I'm repeating myself, please post bug reports about the
issues you are seeing. Otherwise use whatever application you like
better... other testers will help improving evince. Thanks.
