Bug Description

Frescobaldi (running under Ubuntu 12.04, Unity) crashes when it tries to open a PDF file for viewing in the preview pane. This means that crashes occur e.g.:

* when you open a .ly source file for which a corresponding PDF file already exists (if no such PDF exists, the .ly file is opened without trouble)

* after you compile a .ly source file within Frescobaldi

Cf. corresponding GitHub discussion: https://github.com/wbsoft/frescobaldi/issues/33

System info:

* Ubuntu 12.04 (Unity desktop)
* Frescobaldi 2.0.0-1

Looks like this may be a problem with the python-poppler-qt4 bindings, so adding this package.

I upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04 and got the same bug. But then I recompiled python-poppler-qt4 manually and the problem went away.

So the bug is probably that the ubuntu build of python-poppler-qt4 somehow is compiled for the wrong pyqt4 or sip library version.

Wilbert Berendsen (wbsoft) wrote on 2012-03-10:

I dont know the ins and outs of Debian/Ubuntu packaging, but I noticed that python-poppler-qt4 does not depend on python-sip nor the sip-api package, which PyQt4 does. Maybe this is the cause of the crash, because the binding is generated by SIP and heavily depends on macros in the header files of SIP.

Dear Wilbert, would be possible to have a Frescobaldi PPA with the correclty compiled python-poppler-qt4 package? Thank you!

@Hotteterre: the package maintainer has provided a rebuilt python-poppler-qt4 package at:
https://launchpad.net/~ryanakca/+archive/frescobaldi

Note that the version in this PPA is technically superseded by the version in the official Ubuntu repositories, so you'll have to specifically ask for the PPA version to be installed via apt-get/aptitude:

sudo aptitude install python-poppler-qt=0.16.2-1~precise1~ppa1

It removed the crash for me, does it work for you as well?

It works perfectly! I now hope this rebuilt package will become official...

... and of course to Wilbert, who I've already thanked on the Frescobaldi GitHub pages, but who deserves a big round of applause for taking the time to test and track down the source of the problem.
