I found a workaround in case anyone's interested. By redirecting stderr to a file. It would be something like: gnome-open myfile.pdf 2> FileWithAllTheWarnings && rm FileWithAllTheWarnings
Doesn't fix the problem, but at least you can now open pdf files from the terminal without getting all those warnings. Hope it helps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/880952 Title: Evince prints gdk critical failings on console output Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Evince is printing a bunch of gdk critical warnings when running from the console to open any kind of pdf file.
