Description Jay Belanger 2004-08-26 13:13:29 UTC

When fbgs is called on a pdf (or postscript) document,
it converts the document to images, and calls fbi on the
images.  However, it creates tiff images, and checks for 
jpg images.  When it doesn't find any jpg images, it
quits.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a pdf (or postscript document)
2. fbgs document.pdf
3.

Actual Results:  
[~]> fbgs document.pdf

what package does fbgs belong to?

Comment 2 Jay Belanger 2004-09-22 06:22:55 UTC

I didn't mention that, did I?  Doh!

It's part of media-gfx/fbi.

is this still an issue with the current fbi version?

Comment 5 Jay Belanger 2005-03-15 14:49:25 UTC

I originally submitted the bug, but I've reinstalled everything since then, and no longer use framebuffer.  So I can't say if it's fixed or not.

Comment 6 Ewgenij Starostin 2005-04-15 09:37:08 UTC

It is still an issue. Please commit the fix from bug #67057. 

(Btw, considering the existence of media-gfx/fbida, should media-gfx/fbi be maintained at all?)

as those are just different versions of one program they should be moved to one 
package, spock?

media-gfx/fbi should be fixed now.

media-gfx/fbida does indeed provide a newer version of the fbi program (along a
bunch of other small and handy apps). I'd be happy to remove media-gfx/fbi from
the tree as soon as media-gfx/fbida gets marked stable on all arches for which
fbi is available.
