2015-04-01 Thread William Spears
Same (or similar) issue on Ubuntu 14.04. Temperature often does not show up on boot and login. Clicking on the icon does nothing. I kill the process and restart it, which solves the problem for a while. Eventually the temperature disappears again and the icon goes back to doing nothing. Didn't

Having the same problem with Ubuntu 11.04, as of Nov 4, 2011. But, until today I've never had a problem. Interestingly, the small icon on my toolbar changed today also. Was there an update that has broken things? In fact, it causes *everything* to respond very very slowly... -- You received this

Till, thank you - this indeed seems to work. I went through my 675 page book, with the 3 offending figures, using ghostscript 9.04, and it all looks correct! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

OK, after much work today, I can answer that the same problem occurs with Ubuntu Oneiric (Beta 1). A live install wasn't good enough because there was insufficient space to hold texlive. So, I did the full install on HD. ps2pdf still crashes with a segmentation violation. I'm now going to

OK, I'm backing everything up and will re-install Ubuntu 11.04 in a few hours. Then I'll copy my files back. When that happens I'll try to create a PS file for you. The current one is a whole book, which Springer would not be happy about if I released. So, I'll see if I can make one chapter and

I have the same segmentation violation with ps2pdf with 32bit Ubuntu 11.04. I just finished a book, using Ubuntu 8.04, and had no difficulties. Friday I installed 11.04 and the problems began. The proposed quick fix prevents the segmentation fault, but the final PDF is not quite correct. One thing

Till, unfortunately I don't fully understand how to do that. I've experimented some more and believe there are several problems. One is with ghostscript - it appears to be called by xdvi, and doesn't play well with it. If you xdvi the dvi file and zoom in to level 5 of zoom, the right border gets
