Hi Reiner,

It works well with 0.9.64.4-1~bpo10+1.

Yet Evince always opens a pdf book at page 1 while normally it opens where you have stopped reading it.

From https://superuser.com/questions/1724959/evince-in-wsl2-doesnt-remember-last-visited-page: 'You are absolutely right that Evince uses GVfs (the Gnome Virtual File System) to store its bookmarks.'

Kind regards,
John

Hi John,

When trying to read a pdf book from Calibre, Calibre doesn't open it.

My terminal shows this:
evince: util.c:927: create_empty_file_as_root: Assertion `s.st_uid == 0'
failed.

When run /usr/bin/calibre as have been written at
https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/5222 it opens it.

I just tried to reproduce your problem, but for me running calibre with
evince as PDF viewer is working fine.
Can you please try to run a newer firejail version?
E.g. 0.9.64.4-1~bpo10+1 from the oldstable backports, or if you are
meanwhile running stable 0.9.70-2~bpo11+1 from the stable backports?

Also Evince doesn't save metadata - the last read page as an example.

I think Evince doesn't support this in general. Also when running Evince
without Calibre and outside of firejail, it does not save the last page.
Or am I missing some setting to turn that on?

Kind regards,
   Reiner
