Since quite a while ago (months), acroread stopped working. It won't
start up at all. No error messages are shown. It just aborts. No
window is showing up.
Anyone else having this problem? I'm on ~amd64.
I just installed acroread on ~amd64 (a virtualbox guest) and it works
as expected (the dreaded WFM reply).
I noticed that acroread is a 32-bit app and several emul-linux-x86-*
packages were installed as dependencies.
How are you starting acroread? Clicking on a pdf file in a gui file
manager, or from a command prompt, or...?
From everywhere. Same result.
I noticed I had an ~/.adobe/Acrobat directory. I deleted that. Now the
splash logo shows up, but then just aborts again and nothing happens. :-/
I've tried stracing it, but doing so freezes the system (I suspect the
NVidia driver doesn't like it.)
