Hendri's Programing Notes / The document you are trying to load requires Adobe Reader 8 or higher.

« Last post by admin on April 19, 2024, 05:01:52 pm »

Install a working Adobe 9.5.5 to Mint 20.3
Note that it does add over 100MB of additional files to make it work.. (how cares?)

First make sure that your system is up to date by entering in a terminal..

Code: [Select]

sudo apt update
Next add i386 packages to Mint. Adobe needs some of these packages to work.

Code: [Select]

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
Next add software dependencies that Adobe requires. (Takes a while to upload)

Code: [Select]

sudo apt install libxml2:i386 libcanberra-gtk-module:i386 gtk2-engines-murrine:i386 libatk-adaptor:i386
Next get the binary package for Adobe 9.5.5 (Takes even longer than software packages to download)

Code: [Select]

wget -O ~/adobe.deb ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/9.x/9.5.5/enu/AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i386linux_enu.deb
Close the terminal and run the *.deb file.

Enable snaps on Linux Mint and install untrunc-anthwlock

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build.
They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.


Enable snapd
Snap is available for:
Linux Mint 18.2 (Sonya),
Linux Mint 18.3 (Sylvia),
Linux Mint 19 (Tara),
Linux Mint 19.1 (Tessa)
Linux Mint 19.3 (Tricia)
and the latest release, Linux Mint 20 (Ulyana).
 
You can find out which version of Linux Mint you’re running by opening System info from the Preferences menu.

On Linux Mint 20, /etc/apt/preferences.d/nosnap.pref needs to be removed before Snap can be installed.
This can be accomplished from the command line:

Code: [Select]

sudo rm /etc/apt/preferences.d/nosnap.pref
sudo apt update
To install snap from the Software Manager application, search for snapd and click Install.
Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
Either restart your machine, or log out and in again, to complete the installation.

Install untrunc-anthwlock

To install untrunc-anthwlock, simply use the following command:

Code: [Select]

sudo snap install untrunc-anthwlock --edge
