Opening that window usually means there is some error from ghostscript
when opening that file.
As your system seems to be mixed up between the releases, I'm guessing
the most likely reason is some problem with your ghostscript
installation (most likely the ghostscript and ghostscript-x packages).
Could you:
1) Check the version of ghostscript you have installed:
dpkg -l 'ghostscript*'
If you versions do not match, try to upgrade one of them and retry.
2) If that is not the case or does not help, please try to look
at the postscript with gs directly, i.e. gs filename.ps
(that should open a window without any controls with the contents of the
postscript).
If that causes errors and nothing displayed, then this is a bug either
in the postscript files or in gs.
If that does display the proper contents, please try with the full
options gv calles gs with:
gs -sDEVICE=x11 -dTextAlphaBits=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits=2 -dMaxBitmap=10000000
-dNOPLATFONTS filename.ps
3) If everything with gs directly works but gv still does not, please
try some more postscript files to check it is not anything file
specific and let me know if it is or is not. (If it is specific some
hint how I can get a file like that is appreciated).
Thanks in advance,
Bernhard R. Link
