I believe I have found the solution to this problem, I think it was caused by an incorrect AppArmor setup.
My home directory is not located in /home/ but the AppArmor /etc/apparmor.d/tunables/home tunable had not been updated to reflect this as described in: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingApparmor#Adjusting_Tunables After adding my home directory to the @{HOME} list, or alternatively the location to @{HOMEDIRS}, the problem with evince has gone away. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1247621 Title: Cannot type in evince search field in Ubuntu 13.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/1247621/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
