Public bug reported: OS: Ubuntu Intrepid Evince version: 2.24.1
Evince should not require this access. Even if you put a local evince.desktop in your .local/share/applications, evince still requires access to the /usr/share/applications/evince.desktop. Other applications act normally, even without access to /usr/share/applications. Steps to reproduce: 1. chmod o-r /usr/share/applications/evince.desktop 2. start 'evince' Actual results: you will get this error: "Could not load desktop file '/usr/share/applications/evince.desktop': Permission denied Segmentation fault" Expected results: evince to work Does this happen every time? yes Bug has already been submitted upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=572858 ** Affects: evince (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: evince intrepid -- Evince requires access to /usr/share/applications/evince.desktop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/333355 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
