Description Julian Sikorski 2010-04-25 11:54:46 UTC
Description of problem:
Whenever I try to view a pdf file, one core of my cpu gets saturated and nothing happens. Openoffice files don't work either, but it seems they are converted to pdfs first, so it's the same problem.

$ gloobus-preview cv_basel.pdf
CONTENT FOLDER: .
Actual file number: 4
Mime Type: application/pdf
Creating Plugin Class: document 
DOCUMENT (iPdf)
Creating iPdf...
Loading Document (1 Pages)
Page size: 928x650

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gloobus-preview-0.4.1-5.fc12.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install gloobus-preview
2. try to preview a pdf file
  
Actual results:
CPU gets 100% load and nothing happens

Expected results:
Document preview appears

Additional info:
I could reproduce it on my F-13 VM too.

Comment 1 Steve Baker 2010-06-18 15:33:23 UTC
I have the same experience.

Gloobus site shows that this was fixed but I don't think it's been pushed upstream and packaged for F13.

I'm Running F13 X64

Comment 2 Bug Zapper 2010-11-03 16:21:09 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 12.  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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '12'.

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 prior to Fedora 12's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 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 please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

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.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 3 Julian Sikorski 2010-11-03 22:48:18 UTC
Come on, the fix is known, please be a good maintainer :).

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 18:01:07 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

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

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached 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 to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.
