Testcase for gs crash
PDF generated with Ghostscript's "compatibility level" option set to 1.2 |
||
Cristian: is this a problem in the PS generator or in KDEPrint? Well, depends. Bug could prove to be in 1) Qt, which seems to generate PS code that gs can't convert to PDF 1.3 2) gs, which might prove to have a bug in the PS to PDF-1.3 conversion. Usually, PS to PDF-1.2 conversion seems to always work, for the same PS code that fails at PS to PDF-1.3 conversion. (See bug 107991) It might even be considered a bug in kdeprint, which doesn't try to enforce the conversion to PDF-1.2 (but I consider this enforcement to be a workaround and I won't apply it in kdeprint until I don't find who's the culprit: qt or gs, or what the real problem is). hmmm. I might have hurried a bit with my comments. It's not the exact same problem as in bug 107991, but might prove to be related. i tried to print to pdf this page: http://packman.links2linux.org/?action=599 i get A print error occurred. Error message received from system: Abnormal process termination (gs -q -dSAFER -dPARANOIDSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=$out{/home/collinm/print4.pdf} -sPAPERSIZE=letter -c .setpdfwrite -f '/tmp/kde-collinm/kdeprint_4HiHAIIW' ). is there a way to give you more information to tried to solve this problem?

Ah, then I already know about this. It's the same bug that I write about in the previous comments. Please read those for details. As I said, I don't think it has anything to do with kdeprint (apart that there's a possible workaround to be applied to kdeprint). other information, i have not problem to do pdf printing under koffice and kate... the problem seem to appear only under konqueror...

It only depends on the contents of the PS generated by Qt from what you want
to print. Often it's a matter of a small image that, if removed, makes the
problem go away. So, it is to be expected that the problem you see doesn't
occur with all KDE applications.
KDE hacking and Ghostscript hacking are different skills. The latter starts with a PostScript file. Please retrieve the PostScript file your box generates and submit it here. Created attachment 14929 [details]
Testcase for gs crash
Here's a testcase.
And that's definitely not a KDE bug...
With gs version 8.15.1, I get:
dima ~ $ gs -q -dSAFER -dPARANOIDSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite
-sOutputFile=slashdot.pdf -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -c .setpdfwrite -f slashdot.ps
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
OK, closing as INVALID now. Last advice (for this thread) to Marc Collin: Try setting the "compatibility level" in the printer properties of the PDF printer to "1.2". This does help sometimes.... Cheers, Kurt Mine is ESP Ghostscript 8.15.0. I'm using the very same file, but renamed to "crash.ps":
kurt@soprano:~> gs -dSAFER -dPARANOIDSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH \
-sDEVICE=pdfwrite \
-sOutputFile=crash.pdf \
-sPAPERSIZE=a4 \
-c .setpdfwrite \
-f crash.ps

I'll upload the resulting crash.pdf file.

Note, the default compatibility level for most distro's ps2pdf setup is 1.3. Created attachment 19263 [details]
PDF generated with Ghostscript's "compatibility level" option set to 1.2
PDF generated by Ghostscript from the "slashdot.ps" using
"-dCompatibilityLevel=1.2" parameter.
Ghostscript segfaults if default "1.3" is used.
