[Bug 75894] Re: [GPL GS WORKS] evince (gs-esp) memory leak opening .eps files
I had the same problem using kubuntu feisty, just upgraded from edgy: working with gs-gpl I am making illustations with dia and exporting to eps format for including into latex. The problem is: text in eps files generated with feisty doesn't look like the same text in eps files generated with edgy (with the same dia file!). That is annoying because I would like new pictures to be like older ones. an example in attachment ** Attachment added: "D:\users\mouragnon\Documents\Travail\these\images\maison.eps" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/7909905/D%3A%5Cusers%5Cmouragnon%5CDocuments%5CTravail%5Cthese%5Cimages%5Cmaison.eps -- [GPL GS WORKS] evince (gs-esp) memory leak opening .eps files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/75894 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for evince in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Here's a way to generate a PostScript file and process it with gs, causing the symptoms described above.

[Bug 75894] Re: [GPL GS WORKS] evince (gs-esp) memory leak opening .eps files
I would like to say that I can reproduce this bug in Ubuntu 7.04 (Fiesty). I first came across this bug in Inkscape when trying to save an svg I was working on in the .ai (Adobe Illustrator) format. installing gs-gpl and switching to it (using the program galternatives, or through the command line as mentioned above) fixed the issue for me. Still, GS-ESP is the default GS and this serious memory leak needs to be plugged. Googling hasn't shown me that anyone else/nor upstream knows about this issue. Could it be an ubuntu repackaging breakage? I can't imagine something so serious not being caught relatively quickly the gs-esp release. Perhaps a shout to the gs-esp mailing list may be worth a go Calling gs-esp from the command line also causes this serious mem leak. -- [GPL GS WORKS] evince (gs-esp) memory leak opening .eps files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/75894 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for evince in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Hi, everybody. Confirming bug. gs-esp will consume all memory when attempting to open the attached postscript file. It's a latex generated file, don't remember the details on how it was generated. The file is many years old and I've never had problems opening it on lots of systems. gs-gpl solves the problem. ** Attachment added: "bad.ps.gz" http://librarian.launchpad.net/7436193/bad.ps.gz -- [GPL GS WORKS] evince (gs-esp) memory leak opening .eps files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/75894 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for evince in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Not only eps, also normal postscript files can make a system unusable at a point that even ctrl+alt+backspace will not allow you to get a shell. Just put the attached ps on your desktop, and nautilus will try to get a thumbnail, resulting in your system becoming unusable automatically at login (this happened to me). ** Attachment added: "menu.ps" http://librarian.launchpad.net/7391595/menu.ps -- [GPL GS WORKS] evince (gs-esp) memory leak opening .eps files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/75894 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for evince in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Just tested. Bug still present for me, on a current Feisty machine.

But the problem is that gs-esp doesn't work, not gs-gpl. What's more, gs-esp is the default and memory allocation bombs that occur when an eps file shows up in nautilus is a pretty big denial of service bug.
