I experienced the same bug with syslog flooded. It seems that it happens when PDF or SVG documents have embedded LaTeX font (often cmr10 but I bet that with others it would be the same) gnome has problems with generating thumbnails. In my case it is looking for the right TFM file in texlive font directory:
gnome-session[3640]: page: Warning: font `cmr10' not found, trying metric files instead gnome-session[3640]: page: Error: /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/tfm/public/cm/cmr10.tfm: File corrupted, or not a TFM file and it finds it corrupted and retries filling the log. When I remove the "corrupted" file gnome tries to regenerate it but it finds the folder read-only. gnome-session[3640]: kpathsea: Running mkofm cmr10 gnome-session[3640]: mkofm: Permission denied I solved the problem by regenerating TFM manually: mktextfm cmr10 and substituting the TFM file in texlive. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1497727 Title: evince-thumbnailer DOSes rsyslogd To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/1497727/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
