Seb (or someone else who knows about the internals of evince), can you derive from these console messages whether Ghostscript gets called at all in these situation or whether they occur due to failing Ghostscript?

(Just show an empty page.) [how to reproduce] 1. Generate an EPS file using gnuplot by executing the following command. $ gnuplot -e "set terminal postscript; set output 'test.eps'; plot x;" 2. Open the file "test.eps" just created. $ evince "test.eps" The following are what evince writes to the terminal. (evince:24176): EvinceDocument-CRITICAL **: ev_document_get_n_pages: assertion 'EV_IS_DOCUMENT (document)' failed (evince:24176): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget `EvView': invalid matrix (not invertible) (evince:24176): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_from_surface: assertion 'width > 0 && height > 0' failed (evince:24176): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_from_surface: assertion 'width > 0 && height > 0' failed 3. Then evince just shows an empty (white) page. === If i rotate 90 or -90 degree by pressing Ctrl+Left or Ctrl+Right key, evince can show this file correctly. === Okular, GIMP, inkscape and gs can show this EPS file. (may be rotated 90 degree, however) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 Package: evince 3.10.0-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.11.0-12.19-generic 3.11.3 Uname: Linux 3.11.0-12-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.12.5-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 Date: Mon Oct 21 21:23:15 2013 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-09-07 (44 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 13.04 "Raring Ringtail" - Release amd64 (20130424) MarkForUpload: True SourcePackage: evince UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to saucy on 2013-10-04 (16 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evince/+bug/1242678/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
