Whats your OS and Qt version please? |
|
|
OS Ubuntu Dapper Drake (6.06 LTS) Qt3 3:3.3.6-1ubuntu6 Should I install Qt4? |
|
|
No, don't install QT4 just for this, Scribus is for Qt3. But your bug is the next bug caused by Ubuntu's strange Qt package. |
|
|
This bug also present in version 1.3.3.3.dfsg-2 on Dapper. |
|
|
I installed Ubuntu last night and there are some very grave issues with the Ubuntu packaging of fonts, printing and Qt. I personally cannot recommend Dapper for any serious use of Scribus. There are odd issues with the way numbers work which make me fear that PDF export may be subtly broken too. |
|
|
Have discovered a workaround. I've created a new Scrapbook, opened up pages from previous editions of the paper and basically rebuilt what was on the default Scrapbook. The new Scrapbook works fine. Default Scrapbook still causes crash signal 11. We've been publishing a monthly 16pp newspaper using various versions of Scribus on Ubuntu Hoary and Breezy since December 2005. We had some bother at the start due to my inexperience in producing PDFs, but with Peter's help got around it. Since then the software has worked fine and the PDFs have been acceptable to our printer. This is the first time we've had a real problem. I'll let you know if there are any PDF problems when I upload the files to our printers. |

This edition printed fine. No problems at the printer. |

As a Kubuntu Dapper user for more than a year, I would be glad to know more details about the grave issues you've found out during these one night tests. Could you describe them all in one separate Ubuntu Dapper metabug within this bug tracker so that we can do something about it? |

Hi Maciej, Yep, I know you have been using it a while now and thanks to your wiki article it makes it usable. I'm not sure a metabug will help much, as the things I encountered are not fixable by us. :( Even worse, it seems the Ubuntu devs are not too motivated to fix the problems - excepting Jon from Kubuntu. I've been tempted to blog about it... That might catch some peoples attention. |
|
|
Peter, don't blog, submit this Ubuntu metabug, please, since we (or I) will go through all the issues from the list one by one, check them, and file bugs on Ubuntu Bug Tracker. This Ubuntu metabug will be important for our users too, we'll have something to refere to in case of troubles, and we can use it to increase the pressure on Ubuntu makers. |
