I'm using AUCTeX version 2012-07-04 installed with el-get. The default View command for PDF's is TeX-evince-sync-view. When I run it, I get the error:

TeX-evince-sync-view: D-Bus error: "Did not receive a reply. Possible causes 
include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security 
policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection 
was broken."

I've tried setting things up according to the emacswiki but that doesn't work - I get the same error. I think it might have something to do with the fact that I'm using such a new version of AUCTeX.

I'm on Ubuntu 12.04 with Evince 3.4.0.

Check Victor Muñoz's answer to this question, I enabled two-way sync with no problem. This was supposed to be a comment, but I do not have enough reputation points (21). – Gustavo Aug 3 '12 at 16:45
What's confusing to me is that TeX-evince-sync-view is the default in this version of AUCTex. Which seems to imply that it should be setup and working. – Sean Lynch Aug 3 '12 at 18:46
Did you start the correlation-server?　Also you need to enable correlate-mode. I remember having smilar problem at some point, but I cannot remember exactly what made the difference at the end. – Gustavo Aug 3 '12 at 21:00
I started the correlation-server and enabled correlate-mode and it works in that it opens Evince instead of just hanging. But then emacs hangs after Evince is opened. – Sean Lynch Aug 6 '12 at 17:44
Did you set correlate method to SyncTex? – Gustavo Aug 7 '12 at 21:10
