[Bug 1588197] Re: Can't type anything in search box
I have attached a copy of the output I get with this issue. The first error ```console (evince:25290): IBUS-WARNING **: 10:54:21.331: Unable to connect to ibus: Could not connect: Permission denied ``` happens immediately when I run evince. The second error: ```console (evince:25403): GLib-WARNING **: 10:56:05.731: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (1855985172) ``` occurs when I try to add a note to the PDF document. Evince does not accept keyboard input. I can fix the problem by doing: ```console rm -r ~/.config/ibus ``` which is a fix I saw on a duplicate version of this bug on here ** Attachment added: "EvinceError.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/1588197/+attachment/5743054/+files/EvinceError.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1588197 Title: Can't type anything in search box To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/1588197/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I was able to resolve the issue with searching a PDF in Evince on Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 by following these steps. 1. Launch "Software & Updates". 2. Select "Developer Options" tab. 3.

This bug affected me too, Ubuntu 16.04 with Evince 3.18.2 wouldn't allow any text input. Also Firefox 46.0.1 was affected.
