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 Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to 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] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/1093946/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
