Are you sure you're running texmaker-1.3 on F-9? The latest texmaker on Fedora 9 is 1.7, please update to the latest release and report back. (In reply to comment #1) > Are you sure you're running texmaker-1.3 on F-9? The latest texmaker on Fedora > 9 is 1.7, please update to the latest release and report back. I'm so sorry about that mistake. It is Tex maker 1.7. I can't reproduce this issue with evince-2.23.91 (as the dvi viewer), firefox-3.0.1, and texmaker-1.7.1 . Which dvi viewer are you using? I'm using xdvik:22.84.14. Actually only by trying to zoom in de dvi document the pc crashes completely, it just happened. Thanks for the help. The settings on texmaker were set under options/Configure texmaker/dvi viewer/ as xdg-open %.dvi Now I switch them to evince %.dvi and it seems to be running smoothly on evince. That does not get rid of the bug in xdvik:22.84.14 but now I can work without going thru so much trouble. Thank you again. xdg-open is used in texmaker by default (instead of hard-coding specific applications), in order to provide a desktop agnostic way of opening these files. I'm going to reassign this bug to xdvik, now that you've determine the issue lies there. I can't reproduce this at all. An application crashing should not take down the box. I suspect this is a window manager bug. Please can you describe your setup more precisely please - exact package versions, desktop, window manager etc. My configuration is: Fedora 9 The GNOME Panel 2.22.2 The GNOME Desktop 2.22.3 This is what I know about my computer. If you tell me specifically (step by step) how to get more information I can do it. Otherwise this is all I know. Again now I'm not using xdvik to avoid the problem. What is the output of the following commands run from a terminal: rpm -qa | grep xdvik rpm -qa | grep texlive rpm -qa | grep gnome Can you attach to the bug report a simple tex file for which you can reproduce this problem? Thanks.

.dvi file for which this happens in my pc
I just tried to zoom in on the attached file using xdik and the pc stopped working. It just freezes.

this is the tex file that generates that dvi file
OK, I took your dvi file and succesfully zoomed in and out, minimised xdvik, minimised firefox etc, and no crashes. The I regenerated the dvi from the .tex file, and same thing - no crashes. The difference is though I have an x86_64 platform, not i386. and i have no access to i386. Nonetheless I still find it amazing it crashes the box. I could understand perhaps if xdvik segfaulted. But bringing down the whole box is very odd. Have you ran memtest on this box recently to test for hardware/memory problems? No since I switch to Fedora. How can I do that? as root: yum install memtest86+ /usr/sbin/memtest-setup now reboot. At the grub boot screen press a key to bring up the grub menu and select memtest from there. Is this still an issue? I still can't reproduce (but am now on F-10). |
