I had this same experience. PDF files were not opening in evince. Desktop is a nomachine client connected to neatx server. Example:
$ evince No protocol specified Cannot parse arguments: Cannot open display: $ Workaround, in the same terminal as above: $ xhost + access control disabled, clients can connect from any host $ Now evince opens PDF files, e.g. from within Chromium. Speculation that the xhost command should be added to the NX client's "Run the following command": E.g xfce4-session & xhost + HTH? -- Evince (No protocol specified) + NX floating windows mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/523803 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
