evince shows yellow background for postscript files on powerpc

[Herbert V. Riedel]

Binary package hint: evince

evince shows a yellow background for postscript files such as the one attached; wheras when processed with ps2pdf, the pdf shows the expected white background...

this only on powerpc, it renders correctly on x86

not confirming the bug on intrepid, the example is displayed correctly

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

don't specify the ubuntu version you are using in the title, that's confusing and give extra work to bug triagers

[Herbert V. Riedel (hvr)]

sorry; I forgot to mention I noticed this is on powerpc only so far

evince:
  Installed: 2.24.0-0ubuntu2
  Candidate: 2.24.0-0ubuntu2
  Version table:
 *** 2.24.0-0ubuntu2 0
        500 http://ports.ubuntu.com intrepid/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

could you open the bug on bugs.freedesktop.org since you have the hardware to trigger the bug and can reply to their comments which is not the case for the ubuntu bug triagers

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

any news about this? did you send it to freedesktop.org?

[Sophie Bischoff (sophie-freigeist)]

Same here, i have opened a bug report on freedesktop.org:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18575

BTW: i think the importance is too low for such a regression...

[Sophie Bischoff (sophie-freigeist)]

The upstream bug was closed as invalid because "poppler" was not the right component. Could somebody who has more insight on this reopen that bug with the correct component? Don't know if it is poppler or cairo or something else.

[Dimitrios Symeonidis (azimout)]

marking as confirmed... importance=low is correct, in accordance to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Importance

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

does anybody still get the issue? would be worth opening an evince upstream bug, that seems to be powerpc specific

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

ping? did you sent this upstream? we don't have a powerpc so cannot confirm the issue.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

could you try on jaunty?

[Herbert V. Riedel (hvr)]

can't tell yet, as evince dies on me with a segfault with todays jaunty/ppc when trying to open that postscript file :-(

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

could you open a bug about the crash?
