Binary package hint: evince
Evince is hanging when trying to open a pdf. After a delay of at least 10 seconds (sometimes much more), with no cpu load, it resumes. The pdf file is present and on local filestore.
I ran strace and the hang coincides with
read(7, 0x9e48540, 2048) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
See below for more strace output.
Next I tried dbus-launch:
$ dbus-launch evince PIIS1097276509006418.pdf
** (evince:24621): WARNING **: Failed to create dbus proxy for org.gnome.SettingsDaemon: Could not get owner of name 'org.gnome.SettingsDaemon': no such name
But I don't know what that means and if it is related.
This has become such a pain, I use xpdf now.
