Hi everybody
For months I'm observing problems opening certain eps-files in evince (3.14.1-2), okular and similar. At the moment I've installed evince, and depending on the file it works more or less.
So if I open an eps-file created with latex using tikz, it seems to work without any error.
If I open an eps-file saved in matlab, most files open, but there isn't anything visible. In the console I don't get an error (e.g. https://www.dropbox.com/s/bm13jvtgqgq55 … .eps?dl=0)
If i open an eps-file exported from mathematica, most time evince just crashed, with either the error
undefined -21
undefined -21
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
or
undefined -21
undefined -21(evince:20741): EvinceDocument-CRITICAL **: ev_document_misc_pixbuf_from_surface: assertion 'surface' failed
undefined -21
undefined -21
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
which is from this file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pznkke4a45cso … d.eps?dl=0 - even worse: most probably only creating the thumbnail lets evince crash, because if I afterwards open evince without a file, it crashes again, until I've opened some other pdf files directly.
What is the difference between those files? I found different things about the error in the last quotation, but this should be fixed in the newer ghostscript versions (and gs seems to work with all files).
Another thing is: Why is zathura able between differentiating between those files? It just does not list the files which would lead to an error ...
Has anybody an idea what could cause these problems?
