** Description changed: This PDF file came as an email attachment. The file is correctly opened on Windows XP using free software SumatraPDF . In Evince 3.2.1, the error message says it could not open it because it is a "text/plain" file. (Ubuntu 11.10 gnome classic). In Nautilus, the mime type is displayed as "application/pdf". On another computer with Ubuntu 10.10 and Evince 2.32.0 the behavior is different : - from the email client (Thunderbird), trying to open the file leads to the same error ; - when the file is saved on the hard disk, then it can be opened correctly. With evince 3.2.1. it never opens. + EDIT : bug is still there after package update to evince 3.2.1-0ubuntu2.2 + bug is there also under gnome-shell and unity. + ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: evince 3.2.1-0ubuntu2.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-15.26-generic 3.0.13 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-15-generic i686 ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu4 Architecture: i386 Date: Tue Jan 31 23:54:43 2012 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/evince InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric" - Build i386 LIVE Binary 20111013-11:02 SourcePackage: evince UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install)
