ok after quite a few tests, it seems that it works correctly with the run_firefox script every time. It doesnt work if I open firefox normally (from launcher icon). It does work if I open firefox from terminal This suggests to that the .bashrc file isnt loaded properly. but then if I type echo $LD_PRELOAD in a terminal I get the path to the acroread_exec .so file so .bashrc file must be loaded.
So why wont it work properly if I open firefox from the launcher? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Canonical Partner Developers, which is subscribed to acroread in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/571247 Title: acroread remains zombie, so pdfs won't be rendered anymore To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nspluginwrapper/+bug/571247/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~canonical-partner-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~canonical-partner-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
