When openning an tex file, Latex-mode fails to start, error in
*Messages" buffer is as this: File mode specification error: (file-
error The name org.mate.atril.Daemon was not provided by any .service
files)

I use debian, gnome, I don't even know what is the meaning of this
error. Does this mean my system lacks some component?

I'm not on Debian, but I suspect this is a D-BUS issue: You have
configured AUCTeX to use atril as viewer but it is not registered to
D-BUS.  Maybe it lacks this file:

  https://github.com/mate-desktop/atril/blob/master/data/org.mate.atril.Daemon.service.in

Hi Arash,

I think so, too.

> You have configured AUCTeX to use atril as viewer

But I doubt it. I suspect that the error was the responce to this entry
in `TeX-view-program-list-builtin':
      ("Atril" ,(TeX-view-program-select-evince "mate" "atril") "atril")
This entry calls `TeX-view-program-select-evince' unconditionally even
if the user configures nothing particular for atril.

I'm not familiar with D-BUS. I hope Tassilo can settle out the issue.

I think, I've just fixed it with a3887ad1.

I don't quite understand where the error comes from but I've seen the
same error for ement.el recently.  It's definitely some peculiarity with
some distro's DBUS setup.

duhaibo, could you try (before updating auctex) to reproduce the issue
with M-x toggle-debug-on-error RET before opening the first tex file and
post the backtrace you'll get then?  Just for curiosity...

Bye,
Tassilo

this is the message when I turn debug-on-error, but I don't use gnome

I don't know what you mean by "I don't use gnome instead of mate" but it
doesn't matter, I think.

That's what I wanted to validate, i.e., that the error happens when
trying to ping the service.  That's caught by my fix.

If you use auctex from git, can you check if the current master fixes
the issue?  If you don't, I guess I'll release a new ELPA version soon.

Bye,
Tassilo
