Public bug reported:

I am using evince 3.10.3 from Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 LTS.

evince will not open a normal PDF with a filename not ending in '.pdf'
on a drive mounted under /media/... unless the file is renamed and ends
with '.pdf'. Error message: „Keine Berechtigung“ (german), maybe
'missing permission'.

I am sure I have sufficient permissions for opening the file. When I
rename filename to filename.pdf evince will open it.  I tried with
different files copied from /home/... to /media/...

This occurres only on drives mounted under /media/... !  A PDF on
/home/... will be opened by evince even it doesn't end with '.pdf'.
