Evince fails to start on Weston

[Fred]

evince (3.21.4-1ubuntu1) doesn't work on Weston.
This is a regression. I believe version 3.20.1-1 worked.

$ evince
Failed to connect to Mir: Failed to connect to server socket: No such file or directory
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
Cannot parse arguments: Cannot open display:

Thank you for your bug report, could you downgrade and confirm it's due to the update? That looks weird since there is not really changes that should have impact on the backend

I don't know how to downgrade.

evince 3.22.0-0ubuntu1 works fine here on GNOME on Wayland in Ubuntu GNOME 16.10.

Could you give more specific instructions for me to try to duplicate the bug you reported?

[Fred (eldmannen+launchpad)]

evince works for me when running GNOME on Wayland too.

But when I run under Weston then it says "Failed to connect to Mir: Failed to connect to server socket: No such file or directory".
