I'm getting loads of Evince warnings when running it from the terminal. E.g.
(evince:4599): GVFS-WARNING **: can't init metadata tree /home/nivaca/.local/share/gvfs-metadata/home: open: Permission denied
(evince:4599): GVFS-WARNING **: can't init metadata tree /home/nivaca/.local/share/gvfs-metadata/home: open: Permission denied
** (evince:4599): WARNING **: Error setting file metadata: can't open metadata tree
(evince:5001): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_show: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed
I've searched everywhere how to fix this problems, but I haven't been able to do so.
Thus, what I want now is to silence these warnings, as they unable me to see what's really going on with my other processes in the terminal.
Is there any way to do this?
1It looks like the user under which evince runs is not allowed to create files in the directory .local/.... Try changing permissions to 777 for /home/nivaca/.local/share/gvfs-metadata and see whether this changes anything,
chmod -R 777 directory...

You mean Gtk-Critical? – MariusMatutiae – 2015-09-30T16:53:07.067
Yes, that one... – NVaughan – 2015-09-30T18:44:26.560
You should read this question, http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/230238/starting-x-applications-from-the-terminal-and-the-warnings-that-follow and especially the accepted answer.
– MariusMatutiae – 2015-09-30T18:55:23.017Thanks. I added "export NO_AT_BRIDGE=1" to
\etc\environment
but the warnings keep popping up. – NVaughan – 2015-09-30T19:12:27.123Not what I meant. The guy says the GTk-critical error is irelevant,and you can leave it at that. – MariusMatutiae – 2015-09-30T20:00:23.973
Yes, I know is not critical. But in my workflow these messages are annoying: I'm LaTeXing and these warnings scroll up the messages that do matter. – NVaughan – 2015-09-30T23:18:23.643
