This still a problem in Ubuntu 20.04 and evince 40.4 See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evince/-/issues/1642
When using snap-based evince the application state is not saved. evince 40.4 from the snap of the Ubuntu 20.04 repositories: - does not save window position - does not save left pane state (it is always closed, after open it is always on the page "Thumbnails") - does not save page position - zoom seems to be "Fit Width", it seems that this is the default zoom - list of recently opened documents always empty Also snap-based evince does not have an icon in the ubuntu-dock -- standard icon with gear in rhombus is used. evince from the apt has the icon with glasses on the printed list. When I run evice from the command line I get the following output: ``` $ LC_ALL=C evince Gtk-Message: 09:41:53.328: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module" Gtk-Message: 09:41:53.399: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module" (evince:154761): GLib-GIO-WARNING **: 09:42:47.490: Error creating IO channel for /proc/self/mountinfo: Permission denied (g-file-error-quark, 2) (evince:154761): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: 09:42:47.549: invalid cast from 'GtkFileChooserNative' to 'GtkWidget' Error registering document: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.evince.Daemon was not provided by any .service files ``` evice was installed as ``` sudo snap install evince ``` ** Bug watch added: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evince/-/issues #1642 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evince/-/issues/1642 -- 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/1795649 Title: evince from snap doesn't save position in pdf document Status in evince package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I've installed evince 3.30.0 (46) via "sudo snap install evince" on Ubuntu 18.04. Every time I'm running evince and opening pdf document, it opens the document on the first page, though I closed the document on the different page. I can't reproduce that issue with evince installed via apt, so I think this is a snap-specific issue. Also, every time I'm opening the document, evince prints the error: Error registering document: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.evince.Daemon was not provided by any .service files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/1795649/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
