No, unless you have installed the files in different locations, you don't need to export the other two variables; of course, being explicit wouldn't hurt. Check for correct file permissions and double check that extra space I see between "bin/" and "acroread". 2012/2/9 f_padia <571...@bugs.launchp

The short answer is: yes. Alternatively, you can insert the (eventually edited) "export" lines into the appropriate files, so that the GUI runs with an environment in which the LD_PRELOAD variable is correctly set. Clicking on an icon to launch firefox should then have the same effect of using the

When running run_firefox.sh? I can't tell much from the error alone, yet it looks like you have an extra dollar somewhere, in spite of the economic crisis :-) I mean something like "export $LD_PRELOAD", with a spurious dollar sign.

This is a workaroud I had to write in order to use ubuntu as a kiosk, so it's not, strictly speaking, a solution. Antway, it works quite well, so I decided to share it. ** Attachment added: "workaround by interposition of an interceptor" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acroread/+bug

You have to compile the source files; you can use the script build_interceptor.sh to do so. When done, please move (or copy) the files "acroread_interceptor" and "acroread_exec_monitor.so" in /usr/local/bin. (optionally, you can change this path at will by editing the .c source file and recompiling
