Backtrace of the crash (3.44 KB, text/plain)

Description sworddragon2 2013-05-18 11:31:38 UTC 
I'm using Ubuntu and I have configured my system to not use dbus. The system is running fine but if I want to start evince I'm getting the following output:

sworddragon@ubuntu:~$ evince
Segmentation fault


Allowing dbus to start again and rebooting the system solves the problem. It seems there is somewhere a hard dependency in evince to dbus.

Sorry, but that is not a supported configuration.

I don't call that 'running fine' :-)

In any case, you'll need to get a backtrace from the crash.

At least evince should catch such situations and show an error/warning instead.

In the attachments is the log.
Comment 4 José Aliste 2013-05-18 15:45:20 UTC 
we used to have a configure flag to compile evince without dbus support.
Comment 5 Christian Persch 2013-05-18 23:44:47 UTC 
Hmm right. I though I had gotten rid of that already :-)
