I experience this crash as well, using evince 2.30.3-0ubuntu1.2 on
Ubuntu 10.04 (not upgraded from a previous installation). The system
uses LDAP for authentication (a server beyond my control, BTW), and this
error occurs with some users but not others. Errors reported on the
console and stack trace are virtually identical to that originally
described by the original reporter (aside from my system being in US
English).
The suggestion by Superna fails with:
########@ubuntu:~$ touch .gnome2/evince/last_settings
touch: cannot touch `.gnome2/evince/last_settings': No such file or directory
On closer inspection, the directory ~/.gnome2/evince doesn't exist.
Creating the directory ~/.gnome2/evince followed by the touch command
succeeds, and evince appears to work. However, mucking around with a
command line shouldn't be necessary for a simple PDF viewer to function.
Reopening the bug.
Please be aware that it is NOT possible to check on this system if a
newer version of evince (e.x. that of a newer Ubuntu release) would
function properly - the video card in this system is antiquated and
can't properly run X in newer versions of Ubuntu.
** Changed in: evince (Ubuntu)
