[Bug 1386120] Re: evince and/or evince-thumbnailer stuck with high cpu load on specific dvi file
After analyzing the error, I have noticed that the high CPU load is related with an evince-thumbnailer exit error that also involves the execution of some texlive commands. For example: page: Error: /usr/share/texlive/texmf- dist/fonts/tfm/public/cm/cmr10.tfm: File corrupted, or not a TFM file also mentioned in: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/1497727 https://askubuntu.com/questions/1195966/texlive-problems-in-log-file By following these steps I have managed to reduce the high CPU load: 0. compile a tex document to generate dvi document. 1. run evince-thumbnailer in terminal: $ evince-thumbnailer parcial2.dvi out.dvi 2>output-evince-thumbnailer.txt the header of the output file mentions that some TeX commands are denied permission, $ grep 'kpathsea' output-evince-thumbnailer.txt | cut -b 19- 2. create a script to execute omitted commands: $ grep 'kpathsea' output-evince-thumbnailer.txt | cut -b 19- | sed -e '1i #! /bin/sh' > cmd.sh $ chmod 775 cmd.sh $ ./cmd.sh new font files are generated in the $TEXMFVAR directory. How to know its value? $ tlmgr conf | grep 'TEXMFVAR' 3. a new run of evince-thumbnailer may reveal other omitted commands by repeating item 1. A new run of evince-thumbnailer the CPU doesn't show high load: $ evince-thumbnailer parcial2.dvi out.dvi I hope the mentioned steps guide the correction of this bug. ** Attachment added: "output-evince-thumbnailer.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/1386120/+attachment/5340242/+files/output-evince-thumbnailer.txt -- 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/1386120 Title: evince and/or evince-thumbnailer stuck with high cpu load on specific dvi file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evince/+bug/1386120/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
