I can't start acroread as root either.
Does it say "Aborted"?
As user, when I type in "acroread" in a console I get the reply "Aborted (SIGABRT)"
That works here. Just the obvious , but what happens if you click on a PDF file?
Nothing happens.
FWIIW I can't start Open Office, I can only start OO by clicking on a OO file.
Any error messages, or does just no start? If it just does not start perhaps the start command in the icon file is wrong.
The pdf plugin for mozilla stopped working too.
Have you tried other browsers like Opera or Konqueror?
I have tried Konqueror. When the system is set to show PDF files embedded, using the Netscape plugin viewer, Konqueror says "Unable to load Netscape plugin for file:/home/johnny/file.pdf" When the system is set to show PDF files with Acrobat Reader nothing happens. It all works, embedded or not, when I set the viewing application to KGhostView. But I want to use acroread because it is a lot faster for my purposes. Thank you Bill, for trying to help. :o) Best regards Johnny :o)
