Binary package hint: gs-esp

I think it happened because I downloaded this file to the desktop:

Confirming due to duplication.

Choosing this report because it includes a PDF to test with. Bug #106306 has a retrace.

[Till Kamppeter (till-kamppeter)]

The problem occured when you tried to display a thumbnail of a PDF file on the screen. Try to reproduce the bug by trying to display the thumbnails of the same PDF files which you recently tried to display. If you are able to reproduce it, do

sudo apt-get install gs-gpl
sudo update-alternatives gs

The second command presents a menu, choose gs-gpl there. Can you still reproduce the bug? Or can you display the thumbnail now which you were not able to display before. Please post the file, so that it can be added to the regression testing at ghostscript.com.

If you cannot print any more now, you printer needs ESP GhostScript. Return to use of ESP GhostScript via

sudo update-alternatives gs

and choosing gs-esp.

I've got the same message with a pdf file I'm joining here.
Tried the command you gave, gs-gpl is intalling well and update-alternatives --config gs to set it to gs-gpl.

Now it's working ok.

think firefox causes this problem as well.... I've noticed X-windows reboots in the past....
