The text below was generated by the TeX-submit-bug-report command, however, I have my doubts as to whether it was sent. So, at the risk of repiition, I'm re-sending it with additional attachments, name the original file (test.tex) and a tar file containing the output. Yours, M. Dowling From: mike@moocow.i-did-not-set--mail-host-address--so-tickle-me (Dr. Michael Dowling) To: bug-auctex@gnu.org Subject: 11.91; "View" using TeX-sync-view fails Date: Fri, 10 Nov 2017 13:57:24 +0100 Message-ID: --text follows this line-- Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and what in fact did happen. Be sure to consult the FAQ section in the manual before submitting a bug report. In addition check if the bug is reproducable with an up-to-date version of AUCTeX. So please upgrade to the version available from http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/ if your installation is older than the one available from the web site. If the bug is triggered by a specific (La)TeX file, you should try to produce a minimal sample file showing the problem and include it in your report. Your report will be posted for the auctex package at the GNU bug tracker. Visit http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=auctex to browse existing AUCTeX bugs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Without auctex, I can comiple and view my LaTeX files. With the single line .emacs file containing (load "auctex.el" nil t t) auctex uses the command TeX-evince-sync-view. This hangs for a few seconds, beeps, and issues the message: D-Bus error: "Message recipient disconnected from message bus without replying" The *Message* buffer contains For information about GNU Emacs and the GNU system, type C-h C-a.

But I have spent hours on this, searched the Internet but am no wiser. I have renamed init files (.bashrc, .bash_profile, .emacs) and replaced .emacs with that one liner above. Auctex worked for me over the years. I use Archliux and obtain TeX and Auctex via pacman. But then auctex suddenly stopped working For suggestions I would be truly grateful. I also have a problem with preview-latex and will make a separate report for that. Called on its own without auctex, evince works without problems. PS. I don't use a desktop like KDE or gnome, but an old fashioned X windows manager fvwm.
