Failed to create directory /usr/tmp/evince-12292: permission denied when attempting to save pdf file

[Scott Stensland]

Binary package hint: evince

this repeatable bug prevents me from saving a pdf file into a dir which has worked previously.
The fatal error message says permission denied in dir /usr/tmp which I have full permissions on,
even though I requested to save the pdf file elsewhere which I also have full permission on and
have previously successfully saved files into. Please advise.

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Ubuntu 11.04 (natty) reached end-of-life on October 28, 2012.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported when using a currently supported version of Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
