Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evince
I've installed karmic yesterday, and upgraded
[0]> lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu karmic (development branch)
Release: 9.10
[0]> apt-cache policy evince
evince:
Installed: 2.28.0-0ubuntu2
Candidate: 2.28.0-0ubuntu2
Version table:
*** 2.28.0-0ubuntu2 0

When I'm trying to start evince, the following happens (everything is
done as user danielt):
[0]> evince
(evince:9325): EvinceDocument-WARNING **: Failed to create directory
/home/danielt/.gnome2/evince: Permission denied
zsh: exit 1 evince
[0]> grep /home/danielt/.gnome2/evince evince.strace
9327 access("/home/danielt/.gnome2/evince", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
9327 mkdir("/home/danielt/.gnome2/evince", 0700) = -1 EACCES (Permission
denied)
9327 write(2, "\n(evince:9327): EvinceDocument-WARNING **: Failed to create
directory /home/danielt/.gnome2/evince: Permission denied\n", 118) = 118
This is odd:
[0]> id
uid=1000(danielt) gid=1000(danielt)
groups=4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),46(plugdev),107(lpadmin),115(admin),122(sambashare),1000(danielt)
[0]> /bin/pwd
/export/home/danielt
[0]> ls -ld /. /export/. /export/home/. /export/home/danielt/.
/export/home/danielt/.gnome2/. /home
drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4096 Oct 8 15:48 /.
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Oct 8 15:06 /export/.
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Oct 8 15:14 /export/home/.
drwx--x--x 57 danielt danielt 4096 Oct 9 17:02 /export/home/danielt/.

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Oct 8 15:34 /home -> /export/home/
So, where is the permission denied coming from?
[0]> mkdir /home/danielt/.gnome2/evince; echo $?
0
