gscan2pdf unable to rotate scanned image

[Michael Chalvatzis]

Binary package hint: gscan2pdf

Description: Ubuntu 9.10
Release: 9.10

gscan2pdf:
  Installed: 0.9.29-1
  Candidate: 0.9.29-1
  Version table:

In gscan2pdf:
I click on "Rotate 90 clockwise", and the the po pup message comes up and nothing happens. No progress it just hangs there.
In the debug window I see the following:
VAR1 = [];
rotate facing 0
rotate reverse 0
non-duplex mode
rotate_facing 0
rotate_reverse 0
unpaper
OCR
Running sane_start for SANE_Handle 63572928

            undef
          ]
        ];
Forked PID 15884

and that is it.

Aftwerwards I must kill all remaining processes of gscan2pdf.

What can this be. It worked before, but I guess sinc the new version of gtk2 there seems to be a problem (like VMware remote console has).

Any help is welcome!

Cheers, Michael

This is almost certainly the same ImageMagick problem (LP #424249)
that some people have been experiencing saving as a PDF.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Jeffrey Ratcliffe (jeffreyratcliffe)]

Please start gscan2pdf from the command line with --log=log, reproduce the problem, quit, and post the log file.
