Description

Hi

This Flatpack doesn't run for me the reason for which is likely 64 bit inodes, which Acrobat Reader doesn't support. 64 bit inodes are the default on XFS filesystems >1GB.

% flatpak run --share=network com.adobe.Reader

I do have my homedirs on large disks with XFS.

Lots of information and a solution here:

On this same system I have this working on a local install of Acrobat 9.5.5 that uses the above websites proloaded library.

`/usr/local/bin/fix32 /usr/local/packages/Adobe/Reader9/bin/acroread "$*"`

There would be no harm in preloading this library on systems not using 64 bit inodes and will help future proofing this package to some extent (as much as that's possible).
