Fix Adobe CS3 Updater and Acrobat crash on launch
Authored by: jeo on Jan 28, '08 11:20:20AM

This solution worked for me, but in some cases (I am fixing this in multiple locations) I also needed to add write permissions to the group in order to get the updater to work. Otherwise it said it couldn't write the temporary files.

sudo chmod -R g=u Adobe

Fix Adobe CS3 Updater and Acrobat crash on launch
Authored by: dumbuser on Aug 09, '09 11:40:39AM

I have been using acrobat 8.0 and photo shop from a long time. But last week it started to crash.
I have tried this as well. Acrobat opens for 15-20 secs but then crashes without any pop ups. I have monitored this on the console and here is the output:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
what(): CMutexObj::CMutexObj init lock error - : No such file or directory
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
what(): CMutexObj::CMutexObj init lock error - : No such file or directory

I have tried the other probable solution of unchecking the adobe updater from the plugins but that also does not solve the issue.
