Bug 261345 – media-gfx/eog-2.22.3-r3 random failures

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description DEMAINE Benoît-Pierre, aka DoubleHP 2009-03-05 19:33:41 UTC]

From time to time, EOG has features disapearing. It usually happens when upgrading eog or some lib-gnome.

Today, media-gfx/eog-2.22.3-r3 dont have any more backward and forward "green arrow buttons". Other times, it can be the smoothing features that gets 'not tickable', or impossibility to show metadatas. Today, I have lost forward buttons.

I recompiles gnomelib and eog => not better.

A partial solution is given in http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-5535788.html : upgrade to unstable eog-2.24.3.1 .

Reassigning to gnome herd.

I've never seen that kind of bug. Is there any error message on the console when starting the app from the command line ?

@herd what do you think ?

[Comment 5 DEMAINE Benoît-Pierre, aka DoubleHP 2009-03-05 20:25:26 UTC]

No, no message in console. Maybe there is a verbose mode ?

The problems usually start after some emerge world. They are not that random; they are "always the same" and 100% reproductible untill I recompile ... what usually fix the problem. Today, i report because rebuild does not fix.

And because not having the green arrows since now 2 weeks really bores me.

Arrows are drawn in the GUI, in dark green, as if the feature was disabled, even when there are "many" images in the folder. Some guy in the forum also complain about problems when using the slideshow mode.

Just now, I try to reproduce the slideshow (I never need this feature) problem (I did not know what it was): I customised the interface to show the slideshow button, close the customisation mode, and clic on the new slideshow button => nothing happen. I think this is the problem the guy had :)

And, no message in the console.

eog -s /tmp/92220007.jpg
just shows one picture, dispite my /tmp contains about 30 images :)

eog -s
shows grey empty interface (my ~/ does also contain about 10 pics)

Both slideshow and arrows not showing up may technically be related to the same backend problem. I thought maybe EOG is just unable to list directories for some reason - I have no clue.

shows the picture plus arrows correctly enabled for me

same here, I guess that's an upstream bug

me neither, is it working better with 2.26 ? Also, it would probably be a good idea to see if strace can't give a hint at if eog fails to find files, otherwise I think you'll have to resort using gdb.

Please get back to us.

At the moment, I have the green buttons. No clue why, and forgot exactly when they came back.
