Crash in evince (seems related with AppArmor profile) (display_wayland->cursor_theme_name)

[Julian Alarcon]

I have problems with Evince

Seems very similar to an old Debian bug:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=827335

This is the log when I try to open Evince from Terminal:
julian@e01a27166:~$ evince

(evince:5757): Gdk-WARNING **: Failed to load cursor theme DMZ-White

Also, this is the syslog with the error related to AppArmor:

After using this commands:

I was able to open Evince again and this is the log of syslog:

Exactle the same here (ubuntu 17.10 with enabled proposed repository).

Thanks for posting the workaround! I am having the same problem.

FYI: I needed to install apparmor-utils to run aa-complain.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

is that still an issue?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the issue has been fixed in https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apparmor/2.11.0-2ubuntu16

Hi,
I ran into this problem too.

=>apt-cache show apparmor

As I don't want to dive into apparmor configuration (a kind of nightmare)
my solution:
sudo aa-disable $(which evince)
