Document Viewer does not open pdf files
Asked by
Tony Lewis
Running 12.04 with all updates.
Pretty inexperienced with Ubuntu.
Opening pdf files, whether from web page, desktop or terminal (using "evince filename.pdf") results in disk activity, screen greys momentarily then resumes, and file does not open. No errors shown (even in terminal).
Problem affects all pdf files.
Files open OK with Gimp
I tried the process below to ensure the installation was OK (proposed in Question 80874 answer 11)
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get --fix-missing install
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get purge evince
sudo aptitude install evince
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoremove
Thanks for any responses
