I went ahead and let to do the install and immediately ran into a number of problems, including the fact that the system would not reboot when the installation was done. All reboot attempts resulted in a black screen. I was able to trace the problem to a missing command in GRUB (I had GRUB 1 with Ubuntu 10.04) After fixing that problem about a week later GRUB was automatically updated to GRUB2. Personally I do not like the UNITY interface, it requires far too many clicks and menu for be to get anything done. I added KDE per recommendations on several of the Ubuntu forums, and that worked for about a week until a MAJOR ubuntu update came thru and messed up KDE. So I "uninstalled" KDE and tried to use UNITY, but again found it not to my liking. About that time I received an "announcement" that "gnome 3" was available (I do not remeber what the package was called.) I installed that, and started getting a working system again (Took almost 3-4 weeks!!!) After running with the GNOME3 (it always goes into FALLBACK mode, because it thinks my graphics card (EVA nvidia GeForce 9600GTS) is not 3d capable - which it is...) A suggestion was to upgrade once again to 12.10, which I did. Things have been kinda stable since, and have found workarounds for all of the little bugs (like having to run SYSLOG in a terminal screen to get it to work at all, and having to put up with the missing timestamps on each line 'cause they are displayed in white ink, on a white background....) I currently log on with GNOME and most things work - except for evince. This is a major problem to me, as almost all of the documentation that I use are in PDF files... After some investigation I found "mupdf" which allows me to view PDF files, but I can not print single pages when needed or "Copy" selected information. (no options for either). As background, I am a retired Senior Systems Engineer/Programmer for large scale IBM mainframes. My knowledge of LINUX is limited to what I have learned in the past 4-5 years. I have 45+ years of experience in Information Technology, and I really like LINUX. In Fact, I found the Ubuntu distros to be more reliable than most (with the exception of the upgrade to 12.04, that is.) I use this system to develop software, but (unfortuantely) do not know C or C++ (yet!) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1093946 Title: Evince fails to open PDF files. worked prior to Ubuntu 12.10 upgrade [-WARNING **: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpoppler-glib.so.8: undefined symbol: cairo_mesh_pattern_begin_patch] Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Any time I try to view a PDF file, an icon is created in the task bar that says "opening file ...." but the file does not open.

Sometimes after the failure, Ubuntu reports an internal error in evince - which I have told it to send a report to the developers.
