Recently and not in association with any system changes, atril and xpdf no longer displays the content of perhaps half my PDF files. They see all the pages, but they are blank. An exception is that sometimes a cover page, TOC, download notice at bottom of pages, or the graphics are displayed, but n

I have an interesting problem with maxima/wxmaxima on ascii: wxmaxima and maxima can solve this equation: solve([x²+y²=r², (x-a)²+(y)²=p²],[x,y]); but this equation is solved in maxima, but not in wxmaxima (gives an empty solution): solve([x²+y²=r², (x-a)²+(y-b)²=p²],[x,y]); Could somebody pl
