 Posted: Fri Jul 15, 2022 7:59 pm Post subject: Evince Refreshing Incorrectly [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Hello,
Over the past few days, I've noticed a problem when evince refreshes a document (e.g. I have it open and then recompile the LaTeX source). The rendering seems to get mildly to severely messed up on the refresh; it looks fine if I close evince and restart. Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas on how to fix it?
I'm running 42.3:
| Quote: |
~ # eix evince
[I] app-text/evince
Available versions: 42.2(0/evd3.4-evv3.3) 42.3(0/evd3.4-evv3.3) {cups djvu dvi gnome gnome-keyring gstreamer gtk-doc +introspection nautilus postscript spell tiff xps}
Installed versions: 42.3(0/evd3.4-evv3.3)(06:40:50 AM 07/15/2022)(cups gnome-keyring introspection tiff -djvu -dvi -gnome -gstreamer -gtk-doc -nautilus -postscript -spell -xps)
Homepage: https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evince
Description: Simple document viewer for GNOME
|
I also tried to re-emerge everything evince depends on to fix it -- no dice:
| Code: |
equery -C -q depgraph evince | cut -d']' -f2 | grep -v ":" | sed 's/-[0-9].*$//g' | tr -d ' ' | xargs emerge -1
|
Thanks in advance for any insights!

please try with starting evince from terminal and maybe it'll show some error messages.

| Thanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately no error message. When I recompiled, a bunch of characters just got dropped (and the font got messed up) but nothing in the terminal. Hitting <CTRL>+<R> doesn't bring them back but closing evince and restarting does... |

| I haven't -- I just use emacs for editing LaTeX. Do you think just installing it might make a difference? |

i don't know, tbh - just trying to help.

I'm having the same problems with version 42.3. Moreover, deluge is acting strangely, freezing up after a while, so it needs to be restarted. Could this be related to the recent change-over to Python 3.10? |

Hi CooSee,
Here's an image of what it looks like after corruption: https://0x0.st/oj9Y.png
Hopefully I posted that right!
Also I'm not using wayland, just X11 with XFCE4.
@koslowj -- I'm glad I'm not the only one! I haven't been able to find anything else about it on a general web search so I wonder if it's just a gentoo problem. For what it's worth I'm having the issue on both my gentoo boxes; they are both recently updated but also both have Python3.8 as the system interepreter -- 3.10 is considered fallback. |

sorry for the dealy.
that looks awful.
when this behaviour wasn't there before, maybe you can find the culprit package which was updated.
| Code: | | genlop --list --date 2 days ago |
i found this:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evince/-/issues/1727
i hope it helps.

Thanks! I didn't know about the genlop command; that seems useful. And it does look like evince was updated in the past couple of weeks, which makes me think there's something in the new version. Unfortunately there are no versions I can downgrade to!
Honestly, I think I'll just try to live with it for now. Quitting and restarting evince isn't the worst thing in the world. (Now that I know that's the problem! I did lose several hours of my life trying to debug a latex package which I thought was faulty  Such is life!) |

have you looked at the link?
could be poppler's (including cairo's) fault.
look if poppler was updated couple of days ago.

Hi CooSee,
The problem seemed a little different (errors loading the document initially) so I didn't follow up on this at first.
But it turns out poppler was upgraded in the past couple of weeks, so I installed 22.07.0
So far it's looking good! I will follow up in the next couple of days for sure.
Thanks for your help!! |

I can confirm that the evince problem went away here as well. There were quite a few updates lately, among them poppler 22.06.0 on July 26.
As I haven't used deluge lately, I can't comment on that issue though. The hint about genlop was very useful for me as well, thanks! |
