Ubuntu :: Cannot Find Evince Executable
Dec 16, 2010
I can find all kinds of evince files but no executable or "link to executable." I can find all the other ubuntu installs, like gedit, gimp, etc. in my /usr/bin folder. But not evince. Even though Document Viewer runs fine.I need this because I installed Adobe reader (ugh) and it took over as the default .pdf reader. The simple ways of trying to return default application to evince did not work, so I searched here and found a solution (y'all rule) -- edited the mimeapps.list file. Worked great. .pdf files now open in Document Viewer by default again.
Except, Thunderbird is still using Adobe reader as default for pdf files, and to change that I have to browse to the program I want to use instead. (Evince does not show up in the "open with" options I get by right clicking.) Can't browse to evince or enter path because I don't know where it is and can't find it anywhere..

I have installed some pdf readers on my notebook, and the one I most liked was evince. But there are two available evince packages: evince and evince-gtk. What is the difference between them? Does one of them have advantages as to the other?

Because my internet doesn't work on my laptop, I installed OpenOffice through the debian package manager. Everything worked to perfection, except that I couldn't find the executable file!
I did a search of the computer for files with "openoffice" in their name, but none would open as an executable. It's not in any menu either.

I am trying to get a 32-bit executable to run on 64-bit Ubuntu. I had to install multilib, and then when I ran the executable, I got this error:
Code:
./x86/bin/target_base_mac: error while loading shared libraries: libxml2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
So I installed libxml2, but I still get that same error. The file does exist:
Code:
test@olds:~/simulation$ ls -lrt /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2010-03-10 13:05 /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 -> libxml2.so.2.7.5

I need to strip the executable flag from all files within a certain directory and sub directories. Right now I'm doing it with a 2 step process
find /dir/ -type f -exec chmod ugo-x {} ;
find /dir/ -type d -exec chmod ugo+rx {} ;
Is it possible to modify the first line so that I can strip exec flag from all non-directory files? Since this needs to be done on a fairly regular basis across a lot of directories and files, I'd prefer not to use a bash script which would slow it down.

I am running into a snag on .exe files in Lucid. I have Wine installed, but I can not open the file as it is blocked from executing with a window popping up telling me that this file was blocked due to security reasons. I go into the files properties and try to change the permission but that does not help. Is there a way to get around this? Possibly in the terminal as root?

I was wondering whether there is an inbuilt logging system in UNIX?
I ran and installation and the program opened up automatically but I can't find the program executable.
If I could find a log then I could locate this file.

Whenever I click a website link to a .pdf I get this error message, "Could not launch Adobe Reader 8.1.2. Please make sure it exists in PATH variable in the environment. If the problem persists, please reinstall the application." Even though there is no Adobe Reader installed on my p.c.
I then have to right click the link and "Save link as How do I set the PATH variable so that Evince can open the document directly without first having to save the link?

I've been having a problem with printing a particular pdf file from Evince. The pdf is opened and displayed correctly but when I want to print all I get is sheets with only punctuation marks on them. These punctuation marks correctly correspond to what is in the document but all the text in between them is not printed.

I find that some pdf files will not print properly in 32-bit 10.04 using evince. The document is sent to the printer and then the printer simply flashes and never prints the document (I have waited an hour). The same documents *will* print quickly when I print with acrobat reader, although when using reader the the following error message appears in the terminal:
(acroread-en:3915): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_progress_set_percentage: assertion `percentage >= 0 && percentage <= 1.0' failed
The printer is a lexmark X364-dn. The problem seems particularly acute with documents that have been scanned.

There are two things that evince does not do that I need it to do:
1) In dual page viewing mode, it needs to know what to do with the first page. Sometimes the first page is a cover, and sometimes it is not. The facing pages are not correct if the first page is not a cover page, then evince does not place the facing pages on the same screen for me
2) I want to view pages using the best fit mode. I then click on a page in the side pane and the document suddenly changes back to fit page width mode. The "save current settings ad default" does nothing
Because of this, I would like either a fix or a recommendation for a better pdf reader.

evince cannot open any pdf file in Ubuntu 10.04. I've already removed the package completely, reinstalled, as well as ubuntu-desktop, but the problem remains.

Ubuntu 9.04 and a Konica 2430 DL on USB. I can get a Ubuntu test page from the printer management screen (printout says GPL. Postscript version 3010 revision 864) and I can print from Firefox. I cannot print PDFs from either Acrobat or Evince. The print jobs show up as completed in the print jobs list.

I tried adobe acroread and got this message: "The media requires an additional player. Please click 'Get Media Player' to download the correct media player." Clicking on the 'Get Media Player' button directs to a web page with: "We're sorry, but the third-party media player required to play the selected media file in your Adobe PDF document isn't available for your system." If I remember correctly Okular on Kubuntu has this capability but is there another way to access (or extract) these files without installing Okular, and its resultant 75 dependencies?

I am used to hitting the left/right arrow keys to change pages when reading PDFs (using PDF X-Change Viewer on Windows). Can I do the same with Evince on Ubuntu? I don't see any preferences window..Fully updated Ubuntu 10.04 x86-64, Evince 2.30.3 here.

I have Evince installed, as can be seen in Synaptic but can't see it in Applications, nor can invoke it as an option to open files. Initially I had Evince working, but changed to Okular. Since then, I did not see Evince in my Netbook. I want to have the Evince option. I installed Evince related packages from the Ubuntu 10.04 Repository, but nothing new appears in Applications or System.

I need to change the default zoom level for Evince. There must be some way to do this. Besides, can Evince start without any PDF file loaded? Also, what is the command line to execute evince? (I run Linux Mint 8 based on Koala 9.10). Whenever it loads a file for which it assigns a zoom level more than 175% or 200%, the whole PC hangs if I click on the "reduce zoom" icon in the toolbar. This is a very big regression.
This is ridiculous! Even ePDFViewer is better than this. I really would like to stay with Evince for the time being, and not need to move to Foxit.

For some reason, Evince has the open file keyboard shortcut set to "A", which means that if I'm searching for text in a pdf and I type the "a" key, the "Open Document" dialog box is called. How can I fix this?

Evince will not open. Initially I was having problems with Evince not retaining settings (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lu...ce/+bug/503372), but now it just won't open. I tried a reinstall of the software and that didn't fix it.

Yesterday I updated some packages with the Update manager. A new version of evince was updated, too. However, no pdf, ps files can be opened by it after that.Running from the command line, get error like:"evince: symbol lookup error: evince: undefined symbol: ev_get_locale_dir"I just wonder how to solve this. Or how to rollback to older version?

how to re-set the page numbers of a pdf file within evince (without modifiying the pdf file). The point is that I am reading an article, and I would like the set "page 1" as "page 43". modifying page numbers of a pdf file is a bit tricky. So, I want to avoid that. What I wanna do is to make evince "think" page 1 is page 43.

Using Ubuntu 10.10. I cannot set Firefox to open PDFs with evince. Actually I have no idea where it grabs mime info from. I know I could manually choose /usr/bin/evince or something, but isn't there a way to make Firefox simply see what my desktop settings are, or at least offer me the choices?

I had some problems with printing pdf on my HP 1020 (it was printing only text, but not figures or pictures). After reinstalling a few times, I realised that problem was not the driver, but the type of pdf format. Some pdf creator (like>cairo, or some creators for Windows) has format which can not be parsed on Ubuntu. Workaround is to 'print to a file' (postscript), save it somewhere and then print that new postscript document.

I noticed (in my couple of days Debian experience) that most of my PDF files renders poorly in Evince. And poorly is gentle word to say, as they are unreadable: So I searched Software Center for some programs and installed XPDF, but this program does not belong in my time perception so I ditched it. Then googling, I found Foxit deb package, which shows fine: but I'd like to use something else if possible on Linux system I did not try to install Adobe Reader as I understand it's bloated and slow program, and I felt nostalgic towards SumatraPDF which I use on my Windows 7 OS. I guess there is no hope for such slick PDF viewer on Linux, as I googled as said, but knowing that SumatraPDF's PDF engine is MuPDF, I just feel sorry that developers prefer only Windows version I'm curious which program, experienced Debian users find appropriate for viewing PDF files

When printing in evince I cannot print on 2 sides. If I select the printer options only 1 side is available (Page Setup Tab, under layout two-sided has only 1-sided available. I have the same with gedit. So far all other apps are fine. Are these 2 apps unable to print 2 sided for some reason, or am I possibly missing something?
