Great!! It is working now on Centos 7.
Awesome! Worked on Fedora 28
/opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread: error while loading shared libraries: /lib/libdatrie.so.1: file too short
when starting with acroread
i am using fedora 28
Hi stars,
For me it’s working normally. Try to reinstall libdatrie i686:
Can you please update this for Fedora 29?
Hi EP,
Yes, I can. I tested it and Adobe Reader is running ok on Fedora 29. Installation is a little messy, but should still work.
Mine is crashing when trying access anything that opens a dialog (open file, or properties, etc)
It seems Fedora 29 is the end. I can install following these instructions, but rendering is broken, and it crashes when accessing propoerties, or Open File.
It’s not working in F29.
In Fedora 29, it doesn’t work. It crashes on certain actions.
Hi Joe Black, Astrogildo and E. Palm
First, just tested this on fully updated Fedora 29 and can’t get it chrash on file dialogs or properties etc.
Could you tell more what errors you get when it crash? Open it from command line and and check console?
after a dnf install on a fedora 28 station, acroread is not launched:
$ /usr/bin/acroread
(acroread:4116): Gtk-WARNING **: 13:41:57.652: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: “adwaita”,
something missing or badly installed?
$ rpm -qa | grep adwaita
adwaita-cursor-theme-3.28.0-1.fc28.noarch
adwaita-qt4-1.0-4.fc28.x86_64
adwaita-qt-common-1.0-4.fc28.x86_64
adwaita-qt-1.0-4.fc28.x86_64
adwaita-qt5-1.0-4.fc28.x86_64
adwaita-icon-theme-3.28.0-1.fc28.noarch
adwaita-gtk2-theme-3.28-1.fc28.x86_64
Hi Daniel,
Did you installed following packages on step. 3a?
I can’t see 32-bit adwaita-gtk2-theme installed.
These instructions worked like a charm.
Thanks
That there were no type errors: Gtk-WARNING murrine, it is necessary to set for 64-bit systems: gtk-murrine-engine.i686 (For Fedora 28 it is relevant: https://fedora.pkgs.org/29/fedora-x86_64/gtk-murrine-engine-0.98.2-15.fc29.i686.rpm.html)
Hi M2S,
I can’t get this error, what desktop do you use?
Works great! Thank you to all.
Hi,
It installed successfully on CentOS 7 (latest version) but I’m unable to sign in to the Adobe Document Cloud with the AdobeID from within the Adobe Reader?
Regards,
I get
XXX~]$ acroread
dirname: missing operand
Try ‘dirname –help’ for more information.
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
when I run in on Fedora 29. To be fair, it did not work on Fedora 28 (i.e., before I upgraded), either.
Not sure how to diagnose the problem further, would appreciate any insights.
Thanks for the useful instructions. Just to let you know that after the installation (on Fedora 28) Adobe Reader was working just as root, probably because I’m using LDAP credentials. I had to do:
$ dnf install sssd-client.i686
After that it worked fine with normal users as well.
Thanks Fernando, nice addition!
