Recently evince stopped working on one of my machines, ajglap. |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
For every pdf, evince opens a window and complains |
| 4 |
unable to open document |
| 5 |
unhandled mime type |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Sometimes the mime type is application/text other times |
| 8 |
it is application/octet-stream. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
But the file is definitely a pdf. For example |
| 11 |
vita.pdf begins |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
%PDF-1.2 |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
grep pdf /etc/mime.types gives |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
application/pdf pdf |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
I know there was a recent discussion about evince, but for that |
| 20 |
user, evince knew the file type was application/pdf. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Since evince on another machine, allan, can view these files, |
| 24 |
I don't think the files have gotten corrupted. The files are |
| 25 |
on ajglap; allan nfs mounts the files. Also acroread on ajglap |
| 26 |
has no trouble. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
I have rebuild evince/poppler/poppler-bindings with no change. |
| 29 |
I also ran revdep-rebuild, which rebuilt nothing. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Any help would be appreciated. |
| 32 |
thanks, |
