epdfview -- error messages in terminal

Hello,

Nowadays I try to do everything from the terminal, including opening up PDFs to study. The trouble is that when I use epdfview from the command line, it spits out GTK error messages whenever I change pages:

(epdfview:8848): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_value_unset: assertion `G_IS_VALUE (value)' failed

Is there any way I hide away these messages, or should I try to file a bug report upstream? I just had a look at the epdfview website and I have no idea how to do so.

edit: forget this post. I installed the new evince and it is soooo much better.

You could try epdfview-svn maybe.

You could redirect error messages to null

epdfview >/dev/nul 2>&1

This should suppress all error messages.

Re: epdfview -- error messages in terminal

Thanks for replying esters. I did consider the svn package, but then I looked at the changesets and saw that most of the changes are to do with improving translations. When I used to run ram-hungry Firefox I could not use Evince with it because the system would just slow down to a crawl, but I have switched to Conkeror since and as I have just found, Evince is no longer as slow as I used to think it was.

Plus, I missed the vi-like keyboard shortcuts in Evince anyway.
