Ok, after more investigating I could reproduce the issue and narrow down the problem, for some reason it isn't doing it on my upgraded system but it is a problem a fresh xubuntu install in a VM and seems to be due to the fix for bug #1891338
Editing /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.evince to delete L72 ' #include <abstractions/exo-open>' and then doing $ sudo aa-enforce evince seems to make it work again or a more selective version - edit /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/exo-open - delete the section deny dbus send bus=session path=/org/gtk/vfs/mounttracker, - $ sudo apparmor_parser -r /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/exo-open - $ sudo aa-enforce evince Alex, from the apparmor changelog adding the exo profile you worked on it, any idea about the issue? Using $ dbus-monitor --session | grep gvfs shows that evince fails to talk to gvfs with the apparmor profile loaded but it works once in complains mode or with the change suggested before ** Changed in: evince (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => In Progress ** Also affects: apparmor (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- 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/1969896 Title: Evince Document Viewer(42.0) does not remember last page in 22.04 and opens in a tiny window when launched Status in apparmor package in Ubuntu: New Status in evince package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: Just switched from Ubuntu 20.04 to 22.04 and realized that Document Viewer no longer open on the last viewed page and doesn't remember the side pane preference even after using the "Save Current Settings as Default" option.
