+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #443932 +++ Description of problem: Evince apparently keeps a list of recently open files and stat()s them on startup. This becomes a problem if one of these files resides on a server that is unavailable any more. This blocks the startup, the evince window never appears. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evince-2.22.1.1-1.fc9.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a file on a automounted NFS file system (evince /net/tmp-server/s.pdf) 2. Close evince. Disconnect tmp-server 3. Try opening a file on a local filesystem (evince /tmp/s.pdf) - the window will never appear. Actual results: evince will hang with following strace: [...] stat("/home/pawsa/cv.pdf", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0664, st_size=92689, ...}) = 0 stat("/net/tmp-server/home/aa.pdf", ^C <unfinished ...> (the last stat never finishes and needs to be interrupted). Expected results: Evince should just show the requested file! Additional info: This is a showstopper unless somebody tells me how to clean up the list of recently accessed files. There is apparently no command line flag to disable these stat() calls.
evince-3.0.2-1.fc15.x86_64 affected. This is pretty annoying as the window will open but after very long time (nfs/cifs timeout) which renders evince unusable.
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
