First of all, evince and auctex communicate over the session dbus for
forward/backward search.  And apparently your WM without a DE doesn't
start a session bus.

But that can be fixed, I think.  I'm not sure, but wherever you start
qtile (maybe from .xsession or so), you might want to try to start
"dbus-run-session -- qtile" instead.

See https://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-run-session.1.html

That would fire up a dbus session and qtile, and then my hope is that
forward/backward search with evince work as usual.

Bye,
Tassilo

I don't. I just grep the source files.

Yes, I tried okular but found it often hung - or crashed! Xpdf is old, I
know, but it works.

I have attached my auctex settings, and also a small org-mode setting
for use in exporting to pdf (which you may not want, of course).



my-autec.el
Description: application/emacs-lisp


my-pdf-org.el
Description: application/emacs-lisp

You probably don't need this, but I have the following in my ~/.mailcap

application/pdf; xpdf %s
application/postscript; gv %s
application/x-dvi; xdvi %s

Best wishes.

Interesting, I like xpdf because it is lightweight, but how do you
manage inverse and forward search in your pdf files with xpdf?

I switched from xpdf to okular (which is recently quite buggy) and then
to evince which is not as fast as xpdf but supports both searches.

Maybe, it is a good idea to use xpdf in Qtile. Can you share an
AUCTeX configuration about xpdf to me? It's better if AUCTeX can
automatically tell itself in GNOME DE or not.

This is probably not what you want to hear but I'm tempted to suggest
you dump evince, which, in my opinion, is bloated. Auctex and xpdf work
happily without a graphical user interface. I use them in xmonad.

Best wishes,

Colin.

[AUCTeX-devel] AUCTeX without Desktop Environment

[Easior Lars]

Hi, all!

It's well-known that Evince has direct/inverse research functions
with the help of AUCTeX in the desktop environment, such as Gnome,
Mate, KDE, etc. Not long time ago, I installed Qtile, a lightweight
window manager, instead of Gnome in my Gentoo box. I found that
AUCTeX can't work well under Qtile. Emacs always complains that
,---
| Debugger entered--Lisp error: (dbus-error "No connection to bus" :session)
|   dbus-get-unique-name(:session)
|   TeX-evince-dbus-p("gnome" "evince" :forward)
|   TeX-view-program-select-evince("gnome" "evince")
`---
while any LaTeX source file opened in Emacs. I have no idea about
how to resolve it. Is it possible to let AUCTeX without desktop
environment work? Any hint?

Best regards,

EL
