Here's a transcript of a session showing problem , at the end after I create the last_settings file manually evince starts up
So it's not a major issue for me as I can manually create the file to get evince running. Note, I originally reported this under Bug 572028 which was the same issue with last_settings file reported by someone else; but was redirected to this bug. rmcgi...@trawler:~$ id uid=1000(rmcgilli) gid=1000(rmcgilli) groups=4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),46(plugdev),106(lpadmin),121(admin),122(sambashare),1000(rmcgilli) rmcgi...@trawler:~$ ls -ld /home/rmcgilli/.gnome2/evince/last_settings ls: cannot access /home/rmcgilli/.gnome2/evince/last_settings: No such file or directory rmcgi...@trawler:~$ ls -ld /home/rmcgilli/.gnome2/evince/ drwx------ 2 rmcgilli rmcgilli 4096 2010-05-03 08:26 /home/rmcgilli/.gnome2/evince/ rmcgi...@trawler:~$ evince (evince:7957): EggSMClient-WARNING **: Failed to connect to the session manager: None of the authentication protocols specified are supported (evince:7957): Gtk-WARNING **: Attempting to read the recently used resources file at `/home/rmcgilli/.recently-used.xbel', but the parser failed: Failed to open file '/home/rmcgilli/.recently-used.xbel': Permission denied. ** (evince:7957): WARNING **: Error creating last_settings file: Error opening file '/home/rmcgilli/.gnome2/evince/last_settings': Permission denied Segmentation fault rmcgi...@trawler:~$ touch /home/rmcgilli/.gnome2/evince/last_settings rmcgi...@trawler:~$ evince (evince:7959): EggSMClient-WARNING **: Failed to connect to the session manager: None of the authentication protocols specified are supported rmcgi...@trawler:~$ ls -ld /home/rmcgilli/.gnome2/evince/last_settings -rw-r--r-- 1 rmcgilli rmcgilli 0 2010-05-03 08:27 /home/rmcgilli/.gnome2/evince/last_settings (evince:7959): Gtk-WARNING **: Attempting to read the recently used resources file at `/home/rmcgilli/.recently-used.xbel', but the parser failed: Failed to open file '/home/rmcgilli/.recently-used.xbel': Permission denied. <Evince is running here> -- evince not open https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/571725 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
