Hi Jamie, Thanks for the help, although I'm not sure the actions you propose will fix the problem. /local/stores/morse is just a place I store large files on a separate partition and has nothing to do with evince. I relocate /usr/local to /srv/system/usr/local, a separate parition, and create a symlink so as to preserve /usr/local contents across fresh installs (which I typically perform instead of dist upgrades). The only way I think /usr/local -> /srv/system/usr/local could be involved is that /usr/local/share/mime/mime.cache appears to be used by evince. Why mime.cache is kept on /usr/local by debian / ubuntu is a mystery to me; it's the one file that has prevented me from unmount /usr/local in the past on previous installs -- by convention and perhaps by POSIX standards, the OS should not by definition and by default not have any dependencies on /usr/local, but that's another matter and not that big a deal. :)
At any rate, I'm using evince fine since moving my trivial theme customizations from $HOME/.themes to /usr/share/themes ($HOME=/home/morse, on a separate /home partition; $HOME != /local/morse) and I appreciate the all the help. So, the main issue is resolved -- that I wasn't able to use evince at the time. However, I do believe that the theme customization issue remains unresolved (i.e., I shouldn't have to / it's "bad form" to change files in /usr/share), but that's another bug for another time. :) Thanks again and best wishes, Doug -- 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/876929 Title: Evince crashes (segfault) under Unity with a custom theme Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: I have created a custom theme -- a trivial derivation of Ubuntu 11.10's stock Ambiance them, with the only changes being changing the selection color from orange to blue (1 color change in 3 files) -- and everything works fine except that evince crashes with a segfault. I have run strace on evince -- attached -- of which the last four lines are: access("/home/morse/.themes/Dougs Theme/gtk-3.0/gtk.css", F_OK) = 0 open("/home/morse/.themes/Dougs Theme/gtk-3.0/gtk.css", O_RDONLY) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) --- +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++ All the relevant directories (/home, /home/morse, /home/morse/.themes/, etc.) are either mode 755 or 700, files are mode 600, and all have uid/gid that is my account. So, I'm quite puzzled as to why evince is getting a permission denied error, and even more so as to why this would result in a segfault. Any help most appreciated, as I use evince all the time and it's rather annoying having to change my theme back to "Ambiance" just to get evince to work, whereas all other apps I've used since upgrading to 11.10 work just fine with my slightly customized theme. Thanks.
