I have been trying to install manually Adobe Reader 9 mutiple times on Ubuntu 20.04.4, but the app does not start. When I type in a terminal
acroread some_file.pdf
I get the following output but nothing more. No errors, no warnings, and under ps -ef
there is no job named acroread
.
How can I try to fix this problem?
Here is the complete but meaningless output:

I tried to install
sudo apt install gtk2-engines-pixbuf
but it seems it was already installed, and did not change anything.
