I could swear that this was working just last week, but now when I run the Adobe Acrobat reader, it hangs. If I run it "directly" (/usr/bin/acroread) with -DEBUG as the first argument, I get an infinite loop of: expr: syntax error I tried removing and reinstalling it, but no change. Any ideas? -- Mark Hull-Richter DATAllegro (www.datallegro.com) 85 Enterprise, Second Floor, Aliso

Dear all, I think there's a security problem with the acroread plugin for firefox. I'm using sysutils/pwsafe to manage my passwords. A feature of this tool is that it can copy the requested password to the X clipboard, allowing the user to paste it (eg. in a password box), never seeing the pass in clear. When I load a PDF document in Firefox, the acroread process lives on even after the

I know acroread is not part of CentOS but many people use it. Thought forwarding this post on the SciLinux mailing list might help those who use acroread on CentOS-4. === excerpt === The "latest" version officially compatible with RHEL4 is acroread-7.0.9, but this currently has open security holes (CVE-2007-5663 et al). http://www.adobe.com/support/security/advisories/apsa08-01.html

Hello, In fact, I raver need to start a bash script using a win32 apps. Any idea ?

is there something other than evince on centos 5.1 to view pdf's? Every time I am remoted in using vncviewer and look at attached emails it KILLS my X11 session. If I am at my desktop it works fine. xpdf used to work fine on 4.X - but it was removed in 5.X. Is there an alternative? Thanks, Jerry

Hello all, I have installed R5.0.12 on Red Hat Fedora Core 3, using Wine 20050524. I'm getting a lot of FIXME messages but everything seems to be working fine. Except for the following things: 1) Attachments are working fine, except for launching the attachment to open directly in OpenOffice.org or Adobe Reader ... Most likely that this is a WINE issue rather than a Lotus Notes/Under Wine

Hi Shadi, I'm also using notes 5.0.12 and I've posted at May,05-2005 a message just talking about how to start Linux apps from a Windows app over/under Wine. The only problem is that I'm not using wine-20050524 ... 8-(. Instead I'm using 20040813. Follows the message. Feel free to ask me more questions and if you want I can send to you another types of scripts.

I'm using R 2.0 on Redhat Linux 9. When I try to produce PDF or PS output, the files are corrupted -- they won't open in Acroread, xpdf, ggv, and on attempting to convert to PNG, I get message "This file has corrupted %%EOF marker." Perhaps I am just doing something wrong. I did: > pdf() > hist(unlist(foo.bar)) I have no trouble viewing the output in Xwindows. Thanks,

Hi I am having problems with the rendering of scientific symbols (mu and degree) in my plots. Whenever I use these symbols they are rendered changed (mu is changed to the proportionality symbol and degree is changed to something resembling a gamma) in the X-device. If I make a pdf of the plot and open the file in Evince or Okular symbols are also rendered wrong, however if I open the file

Hi Andreas, I saw someone (Mike or Joachim, I think) at the list saying you have to shutdown the wineserver. It will overwrite the system.reg as soon it goes down. So before you make the changes be sure there is none wine* process running. Hope this helps. If not, write us again and we'll help you (sometime ago I run into the same problem but I can't remember the

Hi, I'm looking for a usable PDF viewer with CentOS 4.3. On my previous install (Slack running XFCE with a handful of GNOME libs), I used Evince, which is just great. Looks like this is an Achilles' heel in CentOS, as I tested three available PDF viewers (ggv, gsview, acroread) with various PDF documents downloaded from the internet (which all display perfectly with Evince): either the

Adobe doesn't seem to have acroread for x86_64 linux, or at least I don't see it anywhere. Anybody know otherwise? Evince and other tools work pretty well, but I have always liked having the "real thing" around for those occasions when they don't. -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex at fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- I can do all

We are currently running CentOS 5 update 4 on a Dell R910 server 16 cores/32 hyperthreaded with 64GB of memory. It is our main Oracle 11g DB server for one of our customers and is attached to an MD 3000 storage array. We are having a load averaging around 5 but see no swap in use, CPUs are pretty much idle and no I/O wait. We have Oracle dataguard turned on in transactional mode. I've checked

My Firefox crashed and I lost sound, is there a way to release the lock Firefox had on sound when it crashed? I was streaming sirius radio at the time of the crash. Is there a daemon I can restart? I could just reboot but I'm not windows admin :) I logged out of the GUI then back in, would restarting X clear it up? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Since the upgrade to AdobeReader_enu-9.1.0-1.i486.rpm and flash-plugin-10.0.22.87-release.i386.rpm, I have lost these in firefox. And Adobe Reader is not even on my Gnome Applications panel, I have to run it from a terminal window. Perhaps this has been covered, but how do I get these back?

Background: OS: Linux Ubuntu Dapper R : Version 2.3.1 (2006-06-01) Emacs 21.4.1 ESS Colleagues This is neither a bug report, nor a complaint, so I think this is the appropriate list.

I've been running Samba 2.2.2 for a while as a domain controller on my mostly Windows network. It's been working great up to this point. Anyway, I just put together a new Linux server and installed 2.2.2 on it as well. I copied the conf file and pretty much mirrored everything on the existing server, changed the paths and the "workgroup" field in the conf file to match the new
