[Bug 424249] Re: locks when trying to save as PDF

[R (Chandra) Chandrasekhar]

I have experienced the same problems as noted above.

Here is what I did to work around.

1. I installed the imagemagick-6.5.8.3 source package, generated the
.deb using prevu, and installed the resulting package on Karmic Koala on
an amd-64 PC. My packages have version number 6.5.8.3-1~9.10prevu1.

2. I ran gscan2pdf with the new package and experienced the same hanging
at 50% on saving to PDF.

3. I deleted my ~/.gscan2pdf file and re-ran gscan2pdf. This time, I was
able to save successfully to PDF. Interestingly, the progress dialog on
saving still hung at 50% but then very rapidly concluded the action and
disappeared.

4. Note: on scanning lineart, there is no compression and indeed no
choice for compression other than "none". On scanning grayscale, I chose
no compression again.

In sum, changing the imagemagick suite to the latest on the
Debian/Ubuntu source repositories and removing the old ~/.gscan2pdf file
did the trick.

I am happy to provide more information if I am told what to send. I
would love to see this bug squashed: gscan2pdf is such a good package.

Thank you for your efforts.
