Description Elliott Sales de Andrade 2013-11-18 23:00:33 UTC
Created attachment 825846 [details]
PostScript file that does not render.

Description of problem:
PostScript files created by GMT fail to load in evince.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
evince-3.8.3-2.fc19.x86_64

Steps to Reproduce:
Run the example from http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu/gmt4/gmt/html/GMT_Tutorial.html#x1-230001.4.2

i.e.,

psbasemap -R1/10000/1e20/1e25 -JX9il/6il \
   -B'2:~Wavelength (m)~:/a1pf3:~Power (W)~:WS' > plot.ps

evince plot.ps

Actual results:
The following is output on the console and nothing is shown on the page:

(evince:24299): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget `EvView': invalid matrix (not invertible)

(evince:24299): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget `EvView': invalid matrix (not invertible)

(evince:24299): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget `EvView': invalid matrix (not invertible)

(evince:24299): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_from_surface: assertion `width > 0 && height > 0' failed

(evince:24299): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_from_surface: assertion `width > 0 && height > 0' failed

Expected results:
Using GhostScript,

ps2pdf plot.ps
evince plot.pdf

shows the correct output.

Hi,

I've prepared a patch for this and filled an upstream bug with the patch for this. You can find it here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76450.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2015-01-09 20:37:52 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will
be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 3 Elliott Sales de Andrade 2015-01-10 01:01:22 UTC
This is now crashing. ABRT tells me it's bug 1156226.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2015-11-04 14:16:23 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 21 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 21. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '21'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 21 is end of life. If you would still like

of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Comment 5 Elliott Sales de Andrade 2015-11-04 20:55:29 UTC
This is rendering something in Fedora 22, but it seems broken and not vectorized.

Comment 6 Marek Kašík 2015-11-05 14:39:54 UTC
I forgot to mention here that I've pushed the patch to Fedora 21 at the end of July.

I see that the output is sometimes aliased.
Martin, could you have a look at that? Thanks.

Comment 7 Fedora End Of Life 2016-07-19 10:36:57 UTC
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
