Description Michal 2012-04-25 09:43:29 UTC 
I'm using Ubuntu 12.04

When I open PEF files (RAW photo file from Pentax camera) with eog, I see only checkboard.
Screenshot attached.

Sample PEF file you can find attached to this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/987274

Eog doesn't support opening RAW images on it's own.
It can be made to support RAW files by installing a gdk-pixbuf module capable of loading these files. The only one I know of is libopenraw, but that one's not installed by Ubuntu and is also not producing the correct output at the moment (colors are wrong) with some formats.

But libopenraw seems to not really support your picture anyway. Trying to open it using the libopenraw loader aborts with an error. So, you might want to report your file to the libopenraw developer as well. (http://libopenraw.freedesktop.org/wiki/BugReporting)

The reason why you are seeing an empty checkerboard is likely that gdk-pixbuf's TIFF loader tried to load the image instead (PEFs seem to be specially formatted TIFFs) and seems to have produced a fully transparent image for an unknown reason.
