Hello, I'm using Ubuntu 13.04 and I can confirm this problem. I have to
kill the npviewer.bin process so I can reload the page and the pdf can
be seen again. There's no way to kill the acroread process, nothing will
kill it.

[Bug 571247] Re: acroread remains zombie, so pdfs won't be rendered anymore

2013-06-26 Thread Ryan Tandy
I'm still affected by this. My test case is Ubuntu 12.04.2, 32-bit,
fully up to date as of this morning. As I write this my version of
firefox is 22.0+build2-0ubuntu.12.04.1 and my version of acroread is
9.5.5-1precise1.

When I start Firefox and open a PDF in a tab, Firefox spawns a plugin-
container for nppdf.so, and that in turn spawns an acroread. If I close
the PDF tab and wait a few seconds, acroread exits but is not
immediately reaped, so a defunct (zombie) acroread remains.

If I try to open another PDF in a tab while the zombie is present, all I
get is a black screen.

After a longer time the plugin-container exits, taking the acroread
zombie with it. After that, I can open a PDF normally again, since a new
plugin-container and acroread are created.

Disabling the out-of-process plugins feature in Firefox globally
(dom.ipc.plugins.enabled=false) seems to function as a workaround, but
blacklisting only the nppdf plugin
(dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.nppdf.so=false) still sometimes gives me a
black screen, even though a plugin-container isn't created.

[Bug 571247] Re: acroread remains zombie, so pdfs won't be rendered anymore

2012-10-04 Thread Javier Hernández
Hi all!

I was bitten by this bug too, In our case in a Maverick derived
distribution one and using Firefox 4.0.1. It's a kiosk distribution too
without a desktop environment (just a Firefox with a custom extension)
and this was a critical bug since the kiosk is used for consulting pdfs
(among other things).  We needed to deploy this patch quickly into the
distribution, so I did a (sorry for the dirty 20 minutes) debian package
for it. I've just uploaded the source package (lp:~javiube/+junk
/acroread-workaround), so you can easily make your own required changes
and build it for your distribution. Required lines for .bashrc are not
included in the package since we included that into another
distribution's package.

Hey Christian, I'm not sure about the change you did, but I guees that
commenting the if-clause is a bad idea and you'll need either to define
SOCK_NONBLOCK by your own (see http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-
pages/online/pages/man2/socket.2.html) or to provide an alternative way
for doing this check.

Hope this helps!


Cheers!

[Bug 571247] Re: acroread remains zombie, so pdfs won't be rendered anymore

2012-10-04 Thread CK
We are using Firefox 10 ESR on 32Bit Linux and have the same problem.
Unfortunaly we have an old kernel 2.6.23 without
"SOCK_NONBLOCK"-feature, so I comment the if-clause in the function
"accept_connection". Then the acroread_interceptor.c could be compiled -
with the "#define WRAPPER_INCARNATION"-Option.

I used the method be renaming the acroread-executable. If I want to look
at a PDF in the browser two processes are startet:

/opt/browser/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread --display :0.0 
-progressPipe 3 -exitPipe 4
/opt/browser/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread.original --display 
:0.0 -progressPipe 7 -exitPipe 9

But I didn't see anything in the Browser.

Can anybody help? Is it okay to comment the if-clause for the old
kernel? Do I have to change something else?

2012-05-10 Thread raczgabor
I do not understand the solution/programming, but as an avid user, I owe
many thanks to sjardine, Massimiliano Calandrelli and Claude Krantz.

In "build_interceptor.sh" I added the -fPIC option to both "gcc" line like 
this: 
  gcc -fPIC -shared -o acroread_exec_monitor.so acroread_exec_monitor.c
  gcc -fPIC -m32 -Wno-format-security -ggdb -o acroread_interceptor 
acroread_interceptor.c
 
then followed Claude Krantz's advices regarding copying the files.
Works like charm in 64-bit Natty. Even loading the first PDF in Firefox seems 
to be faster.

Thank you so much for this workaround! It works for maverick 64bits.

If anyone have problems compiling related to stubs.h library I resolved
it by installing the package libc6-dev-i386

... forgot this one:

Before running "build_interceptor.sh" as described above, one has to
change the line

-  #undef WRAPPER_INCARNATION
+ #define WRAPPER_INCARNATION

in "acrobat_interceptor.c".

Sorry for that.

[Bug 571247] Re: acroread remains zombie, so pdfs won't be rendered anymore

2012-03-01 Thread Claude Krantz
I can confirm that the LD_PRELOAD method does not work in a x86_64
environment (with 64-bit firefox). The acroread_exec_monitor.so does not
preload even if compiled with the -fPIC option. I did not really try to
understand why.

However, as suggested by swt-techie, one can compile
acroread_interceptor with -m32 and use it to replace acroread on-disk as
described in the source code header.

Steps to follow if you are on a x86_64 system:

* change the following line in build_interceptor.sh
- gcc -Wno-format-security -ggdb -o acroread_interceptor 
acroread_interceptor.c
+ gcc -m32 -Wno-format-security -ggdb -o acroread_interceptor 
acroread_interceptor.c
* run build_interceptor.sh
* in /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin, rename "acroread" to 
"acroread.original"
* copy the compiled "acroread_interceptor" to 
/opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin and rename it to "acroread"
* make sure the new "acroread" is executable for all users

This got me rid of this Adobe bug on Oneriric x86_64. Many thanks to
Massimiliano for sharing his code.

[Bug 571247] Re: acroread remains zombie, so pdfs won't be rendered anymore

2012-02-16 Thread sjardine
When I try and compile using the build_interceptor.sh I get the
following error:

/usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccUBMQ7v.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata' can not 
be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/tmp/ccUBMQ7v.o: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I add the -fPIC switch to the build_interceptor.sh file and it compiles
fine but when I try and load a pdf file it gives an error saying that it
couldn't load the shared library acroread_exec_monitor.so.

I am using Ubuntu 11.10 x86_64.  Any ideas?

2012-02-09 Thread f_padia
ok after quite a few tests, it seems that it works correctly with the 
run_firefox script every time.
It doesnt work if I open firefox normally (from launcher icon). 
It does work if I open firefox from terminal 
This suggests to that the .bashrc file isnt loaded properly. but then if I type 
echo $LD_PRELOAD in a terminal I get the path to the acroread_exec .so file so 
.bashrc file must be loaded. 

So why wont it work properly if I open firefox from the launcher?

No, unless you have installed the files in different locations, you don't
need to export the other two variables; of course, being explicit wouldn't
hurt.
Check for correct file permissions and double check that extra space I see
between "bin/" and "acroread".

[Bug 571247] Re: acroread remains zombie, so pdfs won't be rendered anymore

2012-02-09 Thread f_padia
hmm it seems to have stopped working. I have put export
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/bin/ acroread_exec_monitor.so in my .bashrc file
but I dont see the interceptor process in sys. monitor. When I use the
run_firefox.sh script, however, it does seem to work properly. Do I also
need to add the other two lines from the script into my .bashrc for it
to work permanently without launching firefox from the script?

Re: [Bug 571247] Re: acroread remains zombie, so pdfs won't be rendered anymore

2011-12-21 Thread Massimiliano Calandrelli
The short answer is: yes.

Alternatively, you can insert the (eventually edited) "export" lines into
the appropriate files, so that the GUI runs with an environment in which
the LD_PRELOAD variable is correctly set.
Clicking on an icon to launch firefox should then have the same effect of
using the sample "run_firefox.sh" script.
At the same time, the Acrobat reader icon should work (but only if you
replaced the executables with the ones obtained by compilation of the last
version of source code; previous versions of my program did not correctly
handle the standalone reader).

Kernel changes should not affect the workaround code; however, changes in
Acrobat Reader's version and/or in the desktop manager you use, could do
so..

When running run_firefox.sh? I can't tell much from the error alone, yet it
looks like you have an extra dollar somewhere, in spite of the economic
crisis :-)
I mean something like "export $LD_PRELOAD", with a spurious dollar sign. If
you still can't solve this problem, send me more info (personalized
scripts, and so on) at the email address found in the INSTALL file, so that
I can help you without cluttering the bug history.

Please use the lastest version (you'll find it in the attachement),
following the instructions in the INSTALL file.
Use the file "run_firefox.sh" to run firefox. If it works (and it should),
you can remove the "export ..." line from your bashrc file.
This version also fixes a problem that would have prevented acrobat reader
from working if launched as a standalone program.

Okay,  it works!

But, do you mean

# Adobe Acroread Zombie Workaround
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/bin/acroread_exec_monitor.so

in the .bashrc script?  WITHOUT the space between the path (export
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/bin/) and the file?

Also, I get this from running from terminal:

PID=31011  acroread_interceptor.c:198write error
PID=31011  acroread_interceptor.c:198  error is: 'Bad address'
PID=31011  acroread_interceptor.c:254cannot understand '400 : Acroread

PID=31011  acroread_interceptor.c:198write error
PID=31011  acroread_interceptor.c:198  error is: 'Bad address'

When I quit the tab with the PDF open in it - is this okay?

Re: [Bug 571247] Re: acroread remains zombie, so pdfs won't be rendered anymore

2011-12-02 Thread Massimiliano Calandrelli
You have to compile the source files; you can use the script
build_interceptor.sh to do so.
When done, please move (or copy) the files "acroread_interceptor" and
"acroread_exec_monitor.so" in /usr/local/bin.
(optionally, you can change this path at will by editing the .c source file
and recompiling, I'll asume you're using this one)
Once you've done this, you can try if it works for you by executing

$ export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/bin/acroread_exec_monitor.so
$ firefox

(be sure to close all firefox windows first)
Open a PDF file, then close that tab, wait >30secs and try again.
You should find two acroread processes, the parent one being my interceptor.
If it works, you can then install it permanently the way you prefer: I
suggest putting the following line:
-
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/bin/ acroread_exec_monitor.so
-
in a file executed at logon (your .bashrc, or a script in /etc/profile.d/
if you can become root).
This way, you can automatically keep using the workaround after acrobat
upgrades (I don't think they'll fix it
soon, since I discovered this bug is around since a while).

Finally, I send you the latest version of the program I wrote, because I
fixed a missing check and changed the hardcoded path of "/home/senato" into
"/usr/local/bin".

Feel free to examine and modify it (some knowledge of C will help).
Let me know, I'll be glad to help.

This is not a mozilla bug, as far as I can see. It rather appears to be
Adobe's fault. Anyway, I had the same problem and, since I could not
find a solution in the web, I wrote a small workaround program.

You'll find some hint on what's under the hood in the comment at the beginning 
of the file acroread_interceptor.c
Hope it will help you.

Still broken in 9.4.6.  The issue described in the release notes sounds
like a browser freeze, whereas this issue is where acroread exits, but
nspluginwrapper/nppdf.so is still around so it prevents future PDFs from

Additional workaround: Keep a PDF open in at least one tab, then killall
is not necessary. Subsequent PDF's display correctly.

I installed acroread 9.4.1 from the archive, it has the same problem only it 
happens less often then with version 9.4.2
If I install version 9.4.1 the problem can be "solved" be stopping and starting 
the browser again, it cleans up the defunct acroread process.

hi
have same problem on 11.04 32-bit (good old hp nx7010), and 11.04 64-bit (new 
dell 3350) so it seems that it is platform independent, everything is up to 
date.

I reported this bug in #731966 back in 2011-03-11.

It's not limited to the 64bit version.

I'm using:
i686 2.6.38-8-generic-pae
xubuntu 11.04
firefox 5.0
acroread 9.4.2

All patched up to the latest version this morning.

Still same problem.

It was introduced by acroread 9.4.2, the 9.4.1 version was OK.

Unfortunately the only PDF Reader fully compatible with the ISO32000-2008 
standard is Acrobat Reader.
This means that the other readers are not an option if you want to open (for 
example) documents with special content like digital signatures, forms, 
bookmarks, etc.

Correction the RAM changes do not consistently fix this issue.

I have found Chrome or Chromium both work well with out the need of
Acroread.

2011-04-28 Thread Sam Coffland
Here are a couple of really ugly workarounds if like me you have to have
embedded PDFs in FireFox.

1 add an application launcher to the panel with the code killall 
npviewer.bin
click on it when acroread freezes up and then refresh your page

2 switch to the 32 bit version of Ubuntu

3 Remove RAM to 3GB or under (this working indicates that nswrapper is
not working properly)

I know none of these are great options but as this is a closed source
project we will have to wait for Adobe to fix acroread and that might be
a while.
