Public bug reported: Binary package hint: evince
Ubuntu 6.06.1, Evince 0.5.2 I tried to open postscript (.ps) file in Ubuntu 6.06. Evince 0.5.2 was started but it displayed only "Loading". For long time. No error. I found that postscript compiler (like gs-gpl) was not instaled on my system. After installing postscript interpreter, Evince worked fine. I report this as a bug as there was no error message from Evince that it miss postscript support that is needed to open the file. Observed on this package: http://www.terryburton.co.uk/barcodewriter/files/postscriptbarcode.tgz This is a gz archive, that has several ps files inside; it could be open with archiver (Fle Roller 2.14.4) and after that you can start Evince by selecting some ps file from this archive. On the other side, I can open this file with the same Evince without any problem: http://local.wasp.uwa.edu.au/~pbourke/dataformats/postscript/4.ps ** Affects: evince (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- Evince cannot display ps file https://launchpad.net/bugs/58141 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
