I've installed libgeis1 2.2.9.2-0ubuntu1 and can confirm that the proposed update does fix this bug (the slow startup of evince when the backend fails to initialize).
I don't run Unity, so I cannot comment on whether this version solves that particular regression. ** Tags removed: verification-needed ** Tags added: verification-done -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/997630 Title: evince and eog broken on remote sessions (X, NX, x2go and VNC) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/geis/+bug/997630/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
