Hi deep, I was surprised by your remark that you were able to see something of the fax. I have tried that many times, in an attempt to see "who did it" but I was never able to see a fax. The most recent failure I had here was from March 1st, and indeed, after changing the rights from 0600 to 0644 I could see the first page. The most recent failure before that was December 22nd 2011, and I could not read that. Just like I remembered. In total I have a fax history of 3 month, containing 200 faxes and 7 failures. And only the most recent is readable. First page only. This is a cover sheet telling it is a two-page fax.
All failing faxes are something like 55 to 75k in size. The size suggests that even page two is contained in the file, but cannot be shown. Single page computer faxes are often something like 30k. And also from a timing point of view, looking at the logging, it seems that things go wrong at the end of reception. This also explains the 0600 file rights. The file is still written in 0600 mode and then the process is failing. You are looking back to old versions of Ubuntu to avoid the problem. But it seems that between Dec 22nd 2011 and Mar 1st 2012 someone has been very close to the problem. Maybe, with the help of other we even can narrow the time frame down further and look up in update history what has been changed. It has been suggested before that the true problem is not in Hylafax but in some library it uses to handle TIFs. And things seem to go wrong at the end of reception, before the file mode is changed. That is not 1000 lines of code, rather like 10. Maybe I should take another look. Hope this helps a little bit.
