The problem lay with misconfiguration of the X server which assumed an extremely high value of resolution (xdpyinfo | grep "resolution"). Fixed it in /etc/X11/XF86Config. |

I am using Gnome. When I use ggv, it returns with another error message indicating that the document cannot be opened. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gv-3.5.8-22 ggv-1.99.97-2 How reproducible: Every time the above action is attempted Steps to Reproduce: 1. gv filename.ps 2. ggv > Open > filename.ps 3.
