org.gnome.evince's Issues

Versions 43 or 44

Hi,

I am somewhat confused. This flatpak version runs on Platform 44, but flatpak info org.gnome.Evince gives me

flatpak info org.gnome.Evince

i.e. it's seemingly Version 43.1 . Is this just an oversight?

Evince version 3.32.0 crashes when nested navigational outlines (pdf bookmarks) toggled shut

The following pdf document: GNOME User Guide (- openSUSE Leap 15.1) contains nested navigational outlines, sometimes called pdf bookmarks (but different from the bookmarks created by Evince itself). They are displayed in the side pane of Evince under the heading 'Outline'.

With the above pdf file in Evince 3.32.0 in Flatpak version 1.2.4 when I click on the 'disclosure triangle icon' to fold or close a series of subheadings, or double click a heading to get the same effect, Evince crashes.
If I run Evince with the -v or -vv option, no information about the crash is displayed. All that is displayed is startup information.

This does not seem to happen in the development version 3.33.0 of Evince. I installed this development version following the instructions about 'nightly' versions on this page: A Beginners Guide To Flatpak (- by sk · updated May 2, 2019)

I have tried various different .pdf documents in various different versions of Evince, and in other .pdf viewers, but the crashing on closing a navigational outline heading only happens in Evince version 3.32.0 as described above.

If the development version 3.33.0 proves relatively stable I'm happy to keep using it. I just thought this behaviour in the stable version was worth reporting.

Sandbox this harder (instead of filesystem=host permissions by default)?

It was brought to my attention that poppler and ghostscript can be security concerns, and that Evince should therefore be run under sandboxes.

Looking at it with flatseal, I see that:

• Evince has filesystem=host permissions by default. Shouldn't it be restricted to access only xdg-download and xdg-documents by default, or at best filesystem=home?
• It has "socket=pulseaudio"... why would it need that?

Problem with fonts (mathematical/Greek symbols)

Hi, the current version of evince on Flathub has a strange behavior. When one regenerate a pdf with latex, evince messes with the fonts (mathematical/Greek symbols) after reloading the file. Seems that the poppler update fixes it #86

Can someone please merger the update? Thanks

Thumbnails

I'm on Fedora Silverblue 30 and I'm having an issue with PDF thumbnails. Simply they are not being generated due to confinement. Is there a way, such as a command or extension, to allow this?

I have opted to install "Evince" via rpm-ostree for the time being because I simply have too many documents to search through and it helps to have that visual.

Opening print dialog in KDE leaves evince running in background after I close it.

I'm using Kubuntu 19.10 with xdg-desktop-portal-kde installed. When I open a pdf with evince, after I open the print dialog I get this error:

(evince:2): Gtk-WARNING **: 15:58:59.949: GtkPrintOperation::create-custom-widget not supported with portal

Then after I close evince the app is still running on the background which leads to error if I try to open again the same file with evince:

Failed to Reload: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NameHasNoOwner: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NameHasNoOwner

Is this a problem with the kde portal and should I report it there? Even if the kde portal is problematic is there any workaround so that evince exits cleanly when it's closed even with the 1st error?

bwrap: Can't mkdir parents for /run/host/usr: Permission denied

When I run flatpak run org.gnome.Evince x then I get the error from the title. Similar to this.

Discrepancy in version number

Hi,

here is the problem:

$ flatpak run org.gnome.Evince --version
GNOME Document Viewer 44.1

$ flatpak list | grep Evince
Document Viewer org.gnome.Evince        43.1    stable  flathub system

can't install evince in opensuse leap 15

When trying to execute flatpak install in my opensuse leap, this problem happens:

Required runtime for org.gnome.Evince/x86_64/stable (org.gnome.Platform/x86_64/3.30) is not installed, searching...
Found in remote flathub, do you want to install it? [y/n]: y

Is this a known issue?

Debug messages are appearing

so I just ran a evince flatpak application with some local file 1.pdf and above is the result. Can this flatpak be fixed to not give above messages?

Missing support for postscript files

On page https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.gnome.Evince you write the following:

Evince supports documents in: PDF, PS, EPS, XPS, DjVu, TIFF, DVI (with SyncTeX), and Comic Books archives (CBR, CBT, CBZ, CB7).

However, opening a .ps (postcript) file with the current flatpak of evince results in the error message that this file format is not supported. In contrast to other packages /distributions of evince the build configuration option "--enable-ps" is obviously missing in the flatpak build process. Can you please add that option for future builds?

Segmentation fault (core dumped) when opening pdf file

My Ubuntu 22.02 has issue with evince pdf document viewer,
when i open with pdf files with this command
evince *****.pdf

the pdf file has not open and show this error
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Evince 3.26 flatpak fails to remember document zoom level, window size, location in doc etc

The Evince 3.26 flatpak on Debian 9 fails to remember the position in a previously opened file as well as the zoom level, window size etc. These are all attribute that the desktop version of Evince has no trouble remembering.

---

Updated to the Evince 3.28 flatpak and the issue persists. When I reopen a file, I'm back at the first page with the default zoom level.

Wrong Version Number

Hi all,

Running flatpak info org.gnome.Evince reports Version 43.1, while
Evince -> Hamburger Menu -> Info gives version 44.1 .

Evince cannot open PDFs located on Trash

Every time I try to open a PDF in the Trash it fails with: Unable to open document "file:///tmp/evince-2/document.the_actual_document_name.pdf".

This is what I have in the journal logs:

Missing fonts

I tried to open a document and none of the fonts was available in the flatpak, so I end up with unreadable text.
It's possible to read them from some runtime?

Unreadable text in czech sample:

Output of Properties->Fonts:

Flatpak isn't creating gnome desktop file

I tried to install evince from flathub. But after installation I noticed that the .desktop file for evince is missing.

Evince doesn't inherit system UI theme

org.gnome.Evince 42.0, stable

I'm using Adwaita dark on my system and org.gtk.Gtk3theme.Adwaita-dark is even installed as a flatpak, but Evince's UI elements use the default, light Gnome theming. (note that I'm not talking about the reader's Night Mode, which is a separate thing.)

Needs a screenshot

This app needs one or more screenshots added to the appdata, otherwise it looks a bit rubbish in software stores.

Missing icon on gnome taskbar.

I've looked through previous issues here, but I'm not a programmer and I'm kinda lost at this point. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks.

Printing issue: some options missing

While printing with Evince running inside flatpak environment, the Page Handling tab is missing. It is also impossible to scale the page under Page Setup.

See in the pictures:

Evince still on version 43.1 on flathub

Hi,

not sure if this is the right place to ask: I see that the repo was updated to version 44, but that version did not make it to flathub yet [0]. Any idea what the issue might be ?

Thanks!

Flatpak Evince can't open djvu files

I had to move back to the normal Evince distribution since the Flatpak version isn't able to handle DJVu files.

Update Evince 40

Hi,

is it possible to update this package to version 40 ?

Error registering document

I get this error opening files in Evince 3.30:

Error registering document: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown

Running:

flatpak run --log-session-bus org.gnome.Evince

It seems to be with failing to launch the Evince Daemon. Maybe some more permissions needed here.

Missing fonts and message: some font thing failed

Pdf file (in attachment) is opened, but fonts are missing.

When I start Evince, I got these lines:

This is the file to test.

Text rendering issue (some font thing failed)

When I open certain PDF documents Evince from flathub fails to render text. It works fine in a host-installed Evince, so I'm assuming it is some issue here. Also, I notice that Evince from flathub prints several stdout messages some font thing failed I'm attaching the offending document for testing (it is in public domain, so no redistribution issues).
