The solution is here: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=233514&highlight=acroread
It seems to be related to the upgrade to gtk 2.10.1 (according to that thread). All I need to do is: sudo vim /usr/bin/acroread and change this line: echo $mfile| sed 's/libgtk-x11-\([0-9]*\).0.so.0.\([0-9]\)00.\([0-9]*\)\|\(.*\)/\1\2\3/g' with the following: echo $mfile| sed 's/libgtk-x11-\([0-9]*\).0.so.0.\([0-9]*\)00.\([0-9]*\)\|\(.*\)/\1\2\3/g' And acroread will work. I hope acroread can be patched and repackaged soon -- Firefox Bon Echo crashes when opening a pdf https://launchpad.net/bugs/61436 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
