 Posted: Fri Jan 18, 2008 12:28 pm Post subject: [Solved]Eog: Unrecognized image file format for jpeg |
 |
|
I recently emerged eog with the jpeg use flag, but when I try to open a jpg file in the GUI it says "Unrecognized file format". The error is the same for .jpg, .JPG and .jpeg extensions. I have the jpeg library installed and the pictures open fine in GIMP and Firefox.
| Code: | scottp@seahawks ~ $ file test.jpg
test.jpg: JPEG image data, EXIF standard 2.21
scottp@seahawks ~ $ equery l media-libs/jpeg
[ Searching for package 'jpeg' in 'media-libs' among: ]
* installed packages
[I--] [ ] media-libs/jpeg-6b-r7 (0)
scottp@localhost ~ $ equery l media-libs/libexif
[ Searching for package 'libexif' in 'media-libs' among: ]
* installed packages
[I--] [ ] media-libs/libexif-0.6.16-r1 (0) |
When I try to open the file from the command line there isn't any output to the console, but in the gui says it's an "Unrecognized image file format".
I have run update-mime-database ~/.local/share/mime as restricted user, and update-mime-database /usr/share/mime as root. I don't really know what those commands are doing exactly but neither helped.
| Code: | scottp@localhost ~ $ cat .local/share/mime/globs
# This file was automatically generated by the
# update-mime-database command. DO NOT EDIT!
application/x-extension-img2:*.img2

I did emerge -C jpeg and revdep-rebuild re-compiled 13 packages, including eog (firefox etc). But I still can't open any jpegs. 
Thanks,

I've seen similar problems before, and the cause was the "/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders" file.
`grep -A 2 -B 4 -i jpg /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders` should return something like the following;
| Code: | "/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-jpeg.so"
"jpeg" 5 "gtk20" "The JPEG image format"
"image/jpeg" ""
"jpeg" "jpe" "jpg" ""
"\377\330" "" 100 |
If it doesn't, try re-emerging gtk+, and run etc-update afterwards (and check the grep output again).
You did emerge gtk+ with jpeg in USE, right?
Both firefox and the gimp use their own image loaders, IIRC...

I just assumed that gimp et al were using the gtk+.
Recompiled GTK+ with jpeg and it works like a champ. Imagine that 
Thanks for the help. |
