I would like to know why my Lubuntu 11.10 does not open my .dvi files created with Latex.

Please, can anybody help me solve this problem?

When I use evince L1.dvi, in the terminal, the evince opens but not the file and the messages on the terminal are:

    evince L1.dvi

  • more details required, including: What do you mean by "does not open"? How are you trying to open them? What exactly are you doing? What exact response are you getting? How does that differ from the expected response? Commented Aug 28, 2012 at 1:30
  • @CraigSanders, thanks. I updated above. Sorry for so many errors. First, I try to open dvi files with double click on it. Commented Aug 28, 2012 at 1:37
  • @jasonwyran, please, how did you create that minipage for the codes? Thanks for editing. Commented Aug 28, 2012 at 1:41
  • it looks like some kind of permissions problem - google says that 'Permissão negada' means 'Permission denied' Commented Aug 28, 2012 at 1:44

    Looks like this Ubuntu bug: bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/texlive-bin/+bug/1010909 Commented Aug 28, 2012 at 1:46

Ubuntu sets up evince to use AppArmor, which prevents it from accessing certain files even though the files have appropriate permissions. See Evince fails to start because it cannot read .Xauthority for a different but related problem.

Do you have a custom TeX installation? If so, evince is probably preventing from writing the font files by AppArmor. See Ubuntu bug 846639, which shows how to fix the AppArmor configuration for your system.

A simple workaround is to view the file once in another viewer such as xdvi, so that the fonts are generated. Then evince will be able to read them. Or run

allneeded L1.dvi

You can run the commands allcm and allec to generate some common fonts.
