Re: [evince] Can't read xps
Merci beaucoup for the instructions Carlos, But what a long and cumbersome process, having to instal so many dependencies, and having to reinstall Evince from source, and install GTK-3.0, Gail-3.0, libxml-2.0, gnome-keyring, libnautilus-extension (so many dev lib required) on top of that, whenever the Evince site writes that XPS is one on the supported documents formats, this is just not the case, definetely not out of the box as any user might expect. Especially when on the same machine Okular. Finally after spending a half-hour on this, it dos not even work Evince now won't start. I had to reinstall form deb and still no XPS vewing. I DON't know what went wrong, but what a waste of time. You guys really ought to work on making this work for us, either the Evince team or Canonical. Thanks for your help Carlos.

Yes, first clone the git repo $ git clone git://git.gnome.org/libgxps Then build it like any other autotools project: $ cd libgxps $ ./autogen.sh $ make # make install Make sure you have glib and cairo devel packages installed. Once libgxps is installed, you just need to rebuild evince. Muchas gracias. Alain-Olivier Breysse 2011/8/28 Carlos Garcia Campos carlo...@gnome.org Excerpts from Alain-Olivier Breysse's message of sáb ago 27 15:47:33 +0200 2011: Bonjour, I am not able to open xps files with Evince 2.32.0 on Ubuntu 11.04 whenever I see it in the compatibility list. Okular has not any problem opening the same files. Any idea why? You need to install libgxps from sources: http://git.gnome.org/browse/libgxps since there aren't releases yet, sorry.

Keyboard mapping selection comes to late during install
Bonjour, Keyboard mapping selection comes too late during installation. When one wants to manually partition the drives on, for example, a French-Canadian keyboard, the key mapping selection window hasn't been presented yet (it will be after the time zone selection) thus obliging the user to manually call for that change which is not even possible if Ubiquity as been started directly during the boot process without selecting the Try Ubuntu option. This is not a bug but a choice made by the developper that needs to be adresssed and corrected since it affects all international users.

Natty:Keyboard mapping selection comes to late during installation

Keyboard disposition selection during install under Natty
Keyboard disposition selection during install under Natty. During the installation process of Natty, keyboard disposition selection comes after the partitioning step, possibly leaving the user with an unusable international keyboard. This is even more of a problem for regular user with no to little system's knowledge.fra Even after the location as been choosen (Montréal for me) and the install language being French, the default keyboard disposition selected is France which is plain wrong. If a user goes for automated portioning, doesn't pay attention to the wrong default keyboard disposition and then select password (blindly), this user will after installation be left with an usable system since he won't be able to log into the system as the password after reboot will be typed on a Canadian keyboard disposition, whenever the password has been set on a French keyboard disposition. Of course this is valid for other languages as well and needs to be looked into.
