[Bug 1348384] Re: evince and okular do not render eps files correctly resulting in a black background
I've just spoken with Till about this on IRC. It seems to me that there are two patches involved here. Patch 1 (fix- document-rotation) fixed bug 1242678, but caused a regression (tracked by this bug: bug 1348384). Marek has kindly provided patch 2 (erase- page) that fixes this. But patch 1 was reverted upstream, and we don't know what the current status of this is. So patch 1 has inadvertently caused Ubuntu to diverge from upstream, and this is what is causing the current pain. I think that taking patch 2 is going to exacerbate the problem. Then we'll be even further diverged from upstream, and this will make future merges harder, which sets Ubuntu up to end up with an old version for fear of regression. So to avoid making the situation worse, can someone please resolve the situation of these two bugs upstream before pushing this patch into Ubuntu? What has upstream done about bug 1242678? Would it be better to revert patch 1 from Ubuntu, and take what upstream has done to fix it instead, thus avoiding this regression altogether and bring us closer to upstream? Finally, when preparing debdiffs, please use dep3 headers (http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep3/) to make it easier to follow upstream status on these patches.

The vanilla libspectre-0.2.7 doesn't show this behavior. The patch we are takling about has been introduced in the master branch of the git repository last June, but was reverted in September: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libspectre Some time between those two dates, somebody added this patch to the debian/ubuntu version of libspectre though, and it has not yet been reverted here. While this gets fixed, you can get the source of the debian package, download the vanilla libspectre, and build yourself a new .deb package without this faulty patch (make sure that the source repositories are enabled). I give below a script that should do this for you.

Thanks Edouard, Yes, I can confirm that appending the showpage command to my eps files causes them to be rendered correctly by evince and libspectre. From what I can tell reading the latest EPS standard (https://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/ps/5002.EPSF_Spec.pdf), as you say, showpage is allowed in eps, but should be redefined by programs that import eps. evince libspectre should do so in order to display correctly formatted eps files that lack the superfluous showpage command. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1348384 Title: evince and okular do not render eps files correctly resulting in a black background To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/1348384/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1348384] Re: evince and okular do not render eps files correctly resulting in a black background
Hi all,
I'm happy to discover that this bug is registrated here. I tried many
times early in july to find some information on the web about this
problem, but I always failed.
In my case (ubuntu-14.04, 64 bits), I discovered and identified this bug
at the end of june.
It appears that it affects only the EPS files which doesn't contain the
'showpage' postscript command at the end of the file. Indeed, a work-
around of this bug is to add the 'showpage' command at the end of the
EPS file.
So, the good new is that a workaround exists and is pretty easy to do:
you can use any text editor to modify an EPS file!
Not all the EPS files are affected: for example the EPS files created
with the Matlab software already include a 'showpage' at the end, so
they are not affected by this bug.
It is worth noting that EPS files which doesn't contain the 'showpage' command
at their end are valid. Don't answer that these EPS are not valid! The
'showpage' command is used to eject the page and it is mandatory in PS files,
not EPS files. Please for example the discussion in:
http://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/929463
which contain the following extract of the official Adobe documentation:
quote
Redefine showpage
The showpage operator is permitted in EPS files because it is present in so
many PostScript language files. Therefore, it is reasonable for an EPS file
to use the showpage operator, although it is not necessary if the EPS file
will only be imported into another document. The application importing the
EPS file is responsible for redefining showpage. showpage may be redefined
using the following code segment:
/showpage { } def
/quote
Cheers,
EC

Hi John, You can download the old package from ubuntu: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/libspectre1 Install with : sudo dpkg -i libspectre1_0.2.6-1build1_amd64.deb Do not try and remove the newer 0.2.7 package before you install this one, that would require you to remove a ton of stuff to satisfy dependencies. After installing, you can go into synaptic package manager, search for libspectre1, click on it, then select Package-Lock Version from the menu.

[Bug 1348384] Re: evince and okular do not render eps files correctly resulting in a black background
The source of this problem is contained within the libspectre1 library. This is the evince postscript backend. Between precise and trusty, libspectre1 was upgraded from 0.2.6-1build1 to 0.2.7-2ubuntu1.1. I downloaded and installed the previous version from the precise archive and eps files now render correctly in envice and the thumbnails are correct, too. Update manager, of course, now wants to update me back to 0.2.7. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1348384 Title: evince and okular do not render eps files correctly resulting in a black background To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/1348384/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 1348384] Re: evince and okular do not render eps files correctly resulting in a black background
Chris, Is there a previous version of libspectre1 from the trusty repository? I've been running 14.04 on this machine, and feel like this is a recent development. I will mention that 13.10 did not have this issue either, so the regression likely happened between the last version supplied to 13.10 and the current version in 14.04. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1348384 Title: evince and okular do not render eps files correctly resulting in a black background To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/1348384/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
