Acrobat Reader 9.4.0

[Techmaster317]

The computer I am on has 2gb of ram and the usb drive that I am running from has about 3gb off empty space so unless it takes a LOT of space while downloading I should not be.

try to download by hand ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/9.x/9.4.6/enu/AdbeRdr9.4.6-1_i486linux_enu.tar.bz2 place in /opt/acroread123 directory and try to relaunch the script

[Techmaster317]

I get the same message at 59% then also so I have a space issue I'm just not sure how because I have 3gb free on my thumb drive. In the mean time is there a way I could modify the script to look elseware for the file because I can download the file.

Ok I was able to modify the script and got a message that the tcz was in the app directory and was ready for install but upon restart nothing, it is not recognized.

Hi Techmaster317
I believe that script creates the package but does not install it. Try opening AppBrowser, click on
local, select the acrobat package, click on Go.

[Techmaster317]

I think that is going in the right direction. I tried installing with appbrowser and it says it installed however nothing new appears in applications and no matter what type of shutdown I select it shuts down immediately and upon restart the app shows as not installed. I have tried shutdown without installing the program and all is in order so I know the program has something to do with it. Any ideas?

Use AppsAudit to select the application for either onboot or ondemand.

[Techmaster317]

Unfortunately it is not showing up in appsaudit, it only shows in appbrowser.

When an extension does not show up it is usually because it has already been assigned to on boot, or one of the other choices.
Apps audit can appear confusing when we are new to using it, good luck

[Techmaster317]

It is not showing up in appsaudit anywhere, I looked through all the tabs and options and it is not there. The only thing that I have found that says it is installed is trying to install it again with appbrowser shows message already installed and as I have mentioned it will only do a quick shutdown and not be there once I restart.

[Techmaster317]

anybody have anymore ideas?

Check the wiki articles on persistence.  It sounds like you have no persistent storage.

The SRCDIR is /opt/acroread123, not /opt.  If you place the tarball in /opt it will be downloaded again, and again.  Since the download attempts were cut short with control-C, the source will start downloading again since the source is deleted if it's md5sum does not match up.

It works here, I cannot reproduce.

I am using coreplus 9.0 and this script is asking me to install openssl-1.0.0.tcz, but it does not exit.

tce-load returns 404 for openssl-1.0.0.tcz

Hi winer
Remove the version numbers from those 3 lines in the script so they say  openssl  instead of  openssl-1.0.0.

BTW. A modern browser like Firefox will open  PDF files. There are other dedicated pdf readers aswell
