Print Preview - Version 2.9.1 Under Ubuntu 9.10

[thecorfiot]

Hi,

I have been trying to get the Print Preview to work. It merely
produces a blank page or series of blank pages under the above
installation. I can't recall ever having tried it under previous
versions and so I cannot say whether this is just Ver. 2.9.1. or just
this version of Linux. Then again, it could just be me!

Any thoughts, guys?

I get the same problem with the AMD64 full deb package installed on
Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit. Works as expected in the 2.9.2 development build
on WinXP 32-bit.

Best regards,

Paul

I've just tried the preview on Ubuntu 9.04 32bit and 64bit and it
works fine for me, print preview of the help file shows fine on the
screen. I'll install the Ubuntu 9.10 version in the next several days
so I can test some more.

Which version of Notecase Pro did you install ? The one that uses GIO
or the one that uses GnomeVfs ?
I would need precise data so I can try to reproduce the problem.

Miro

For me, it's the 64-bit build for Ubuntu 8.04 that includes GnomeVfs.
But I'm running it on Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit.

Miro,

I installed the only Ubuntu 9.04 download on the site. Something's just
occurred to me in that I wonder if it is the GtkSourceView issue. I need
to check my Ubuntu installation.

The preview should not be related to GtkSourceView, but the stranger
things happened before so I am not sure.
I'd be grateful if you can spot the pattern. I'll try to install 9.10
version here at home to try your exact version.

Just tested and you were right. Preview does not work on Ubuntu 9.10.
Quite a mistery for me because it works fine on Ubuntu 9.04 and
earlier.
I don't know what did they change in this release.

I'll test this.

Regards,
Miro

Hmm....

Just had a look at the Ubuntu site for any obvious known issues and
must confess that I can't see anything that would effect it.

It's pretty ironic because I am pretty certain that this is the first
time that I have attempted to use this feature!

Bob.

Might have better luck looking at the development site for the GTK
widget that includes the print preview functionality. But I don't know
which widget that is. Miro?

[Miro]

Printing is implemented using objects GtkPrintOperation and
GtkPrintContext
Basically, there is no widget involved, I had to write this code
myself.

Err .. i mean .. the Print Preview is blank. However, printing with
Bullzip generates a PDF with text in it.

It seems that GTK starting with 2.17 broke the print preview feature.
Print should work fine though. I'll report the bug (I aready wrote to
the mailing list but with no replies), so hopefully they'll fix it.

[lennart]

For a temporarily solution: print to PDF, view it and then print it on
paper.

But hey, paper is killing woods ;-)

[Miro]

Just a note: I've sent the bug report to GTK developers.
You can find it (along with the sample code that demonstrates the
problem) here:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=607544

Hint: Perhaps it wouldn't hurt to add your comments there (along the
lines of "this is important for me ...") ;-)
