evince crashes with segmentation fault when $DISPLAY is set

[Jack Twilley]

I ssh into another computer with X11-forwarding and compression to run some programs. My $DISPLAY is automatically set to "localhost:10.0" or the like and I can successfully run xterm and xeyes and all those programs. When I try to run evince, I get "Segmentation fault (core dumped)". No core file is generated when this happens. When I am logged into the same system locally, I have no problem with evince -- only when ssh'ed in remotely.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It sounds like some part of the system has crashed. To help us find the cause of the crash please follow these steps:

1. Look in /var/crash for crash files and if found run:
    ubuntu-bug YOURFILE.crash
Then tell us the ID of the newly-created bug.

2. If step 1 failed then look at https://errors.ubuntu.com/user/ID where ID is the content of file /var/lib/whoopsie/whoopsie-id on the machine. Do you find any links to recent problems on that page? If so then please send the links to us.

3. If step 2 also failed then apply the workaround from bug 994921, reboot, reproduce the crash, and retry step 1.

Please take care to avoid attaching .crash files to bugs as we are unable to process them as file attachments. It would also be a security risk for yourself.
