Ubuntu 20.04 LTS From the Ubuntu software window I selected "Adobe Acrobat Reader (WINE)" It is now installed but does not run. In the terminal I can type 

acrordrdc

which gets the following...

Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

I assume I need to load something else to get Adobe to work? Any suggestions?

  • Do you need a special feature of Adobe? Ubuntu has it's own PDF reader, evince, plus there are other linux PDF readers. – crip659 Jun 03 '20 at 00:32

    You will need to contact the snap developer. The snap sets up wine. When you start the snap, a script within wine attempts to download and install acrobat within the wine environment set up by the snap, but it fails. – vanadium Jun 03 '20 at 06:56

I did have the same issue with one of my script using dependencies. Inkscape or pdftk.

There you go sudo apt install libcanberra-gtk-module

Plus, Adobe, even in Wine, isn't pretty much fit for Ubuntu.

  • Did you test this also helps for the "Adobe Acrobat Reader (WINE) installation? I do not expect this to work because that is a snap. Dependencies should be provided through the snap system. – vanadium Jun 03 '20 at 06:47
  • @vanadium : I installed pdftk and inkscape with Snap on my friend's computer (not mine), she got the same canberra-gtk-module error with her laptop and installing libcanberra-gtk-module with the APT did work well. But since it's Wine related, I can't say. OP should give it a try and tell us if it works (or not). – B. du Garay Jun 03 '20 at 12:25

You can download last packages for Ubuntu like .deb of adobe reader 9.5 from adobe website

You may also need to Install prerequisites and i386 libraries to be able to install.
