My notes say: **QUOTE** http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2081746&highlight=nomachine Here are the steps I followed for my 64-bit install of Ubuntu 12.10. I suppose the workaround is the same for the 32-bit version, except you change the libcairo package and the file system paths accordingly: 1. Terminate your NX sessions 2. cd ~/Downloads 3. wget http://mirror.pnl.gov/ubuntu//pool/main/c/cairo/libcairo2_1.10.2-6.1ubuntu2_amd64.deb 4. mkdir libcairo 5. dpkg -x libcairo2_1.10.2-6.1ubuntu2_amd64.deb libcairo/ 6. sudo mkdir /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcairo_orig 7. sudo mv /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcairo.so.2* /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcairo_orig/ 8. sudo cp ~/Download/NoMachine/libcairo/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcairo.so.2* /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ 9. Re-connect to your machine via NX. **UNQUOTE** Could this be /a/the/ problem? If so any recommendations? -- 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. No errors are shown and I have not located any messages in any of the logs. This problem affects ALL pdf files, but the files are displayable using "mupdf". According to the following, evince 3.6.0 is installed. apt-cache policy evince evince: Installed: 3.6.0-0ubuntu2 Candidate: 3.6.0-0ubuntu2 Version table: *** 3.6.0-0ubuntu2 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status I have attempted to purge and reinstall evince several times, even to the point of deleting the evince libraries in /usr/lib/ and /usr/share/ and /var/lib/dpkg/info/ The result is always the same. Sometimes after the failure, Ubuntu reports an internal error in evince - which I have told it to send a report to the developers. The report must be very small, as it takes less than a second to do so.
