[SOLVED] zathura is displaying pdfs with quirky hue settings (...)

arjey · 2016-02-11 06:43:15

Hey,

I view pdfs on my laptop with zathura and lately I've noticed the colors are off (seems like red and green swapped places). The last time I can recall seeing them correctly was before I extended my desktop to a secondary monitor with xrandr. These quirky changes in resolution and what not have occured before when I've used a similar monitor setting, but they never persisted after boots and switching the VGA output off.

My question is where to look for information related to this, as I've searched the forums for xrandr and zathura (also their man pages), but didn't find anything of use?

Thinkpad x201s, 1440x900 (external monitor had the same resolution)
xrandr
zathura with mupdf
wm = i3

Hi arjey, and welcome to the forums

Is your system fully updated? Can you please post the output of

pacman -Qi zathura zathura-pdf-mupdf

?

The issue you are describing should have been fixed in the most recent version of zathura-pdf-mupdf, see: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/48012.

I also tried to uninstall and reinstall zathura with the dependencies I use after my post, but the problem persists.

Yeah, you are using an outdated version of zathura-pdf-mupdf. The bug has been fixed since version 0.2.9-2. Just do a full system update.

Thanks, that fixed the issue. I thought that the mupdf dependency had updated along with zathura (or rather whole system) update.
