I'm also getting the issue where Evince freezes when I open the print dialog. I have two networked printers which work fine from any other program.
More background I can offer: I had this problem once before on this machine and I solved it by adding/changing some user permissions, but it came back after a do-release-upgrade to 22.04 and I can't seem to find the original instructions for the solution again. It was something like adding a particular user permission to a particular config file in apparmor. The first time I found the fix I was grasping at straws and found it in an odd way, maybe from a much older version of Ubuntu. I'm using Ubuntu Unity 22.04 with Evince/Document Viewer 42.3 Here's my very similar relevant output from dmesg | tail showing apparmor denying something to evince: [ 7408.546706] audit: type=1400 audit(1658690699.607:33): apparmor="DENIED" operation="exec" profile="/usr/bin/evince" name="/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libproxy/0.4.17/pxgsettings" pid=10089 comm="sh" requested_mask="x" denied_mask="x" fsuid=1001 ouid=0 [ 7708.987550] audit: type=1400 audit(1658691000.048:34): apparmor="STATUS" operation="profile_replace" profile="unconfined" name="/usr/bin/evince" pid=10802 comm="apparmor_parser" [ 7709.009396] audit: type=1400 audit(1658691000.072:35): apparmor="STATUS" operation="profile_replace" profile="unconfined" name="/usr/bin/evince//sanitized_helper" pid=10802 comm="apparmor_parser" [ 7709.019154] audit: type=1400 audit(1658691000.080:36): apparmor="STATUS" operation="profile_replace" profile="unconfined" name="/usr/bin/evince-previewer" pid=10802 comm="apparmor_parser" [ 7709.049178] audit: type=1400 audit(1658691000.112:37): apparmor="STATUS" operation="profile_replace" profile="unconfined" name="/usr/bin/evince-previewer//sanitized_helper" pid=10802 comm="apparmor_parser" [ 7709.054590] audit: type=1400 audit(1658691000.116:38): apparmor="STATUS" operation="profile_replace" profile="unconfined" name="/usr/bin/evince-thumbnailer" pid=10802 comm="apparmor_parser" [ 7717.645697] audit: type=1400 audit(1658691008.708:39): apparmor="DENIED" operation="exec" profile="/usr/bin/evince" name="/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libproxy/0.4.17/pxgsettings" pid=10910 comm="sh" requested_mask="x" denied_mask="x" fsuid=1001 ouid=0 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1809685 Title: The evince application often freezes Status in Evince: New Status in evince package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Hi!
