When I try to open "ps" file with evince I get an error:

Why is there a 2 byte long root-owned file in your user's private dconf directory? What is in that file? If you remove that file, does evince work? If yes, under what circumstances does that file reappear?

That file shouldn't be owned by root... did you use some dconf app earlier as root somehow like with sudo?

/run/user/$UID should be owned by the user with userid $UID as well as files underneath. It's generated when you login if you have elogind/consolekit/systemd-logind with polkit and pam set up. dconf by dbus will create dconf/user but this also should be as the user that's logged in.

Does it work if you logout and log back in? It should flush /run/user/$UID/ so hopefully it's cleaned up.

Solved "evince" was missing postscript support.
