I'm updating a whole bunch now, including a re-install of kpdf-trinity,
but its fussing that its not authenticated. ?????
And I see I'll have to reboot as twm-trinity is in the list. For some
reason, logging out has done a hot reboot here for the last 2 years.
And thats 15 minutes just getting everything restarted correctly once I
log back in.

Gene,
Okular was the KDE4 replacement to kpdf that had a number of
bugs. It is the pdf viewer in KDE5 (Plasma) -- it has gotten
better there, but....
none of that explains how its failure is related to TDE? I suspect
you have installed okular and it has pulled in its KDE4/Plasma
dependencies and -- how now fallen flat on it face (a routine
problem with KDE4/Plasma).
And just one of the reasons I baled to TDE. :)
Additionally, it is based on Qt4/Frameworks in
the various
versions, so there shouldn't be a Qt conflict.
Changes in TDE should not affect okular and vice-versa (it would
be very strange if there was still a common library name being
used between the two -- and then your package manager should have
flagged it).
Also note:
kbuildsycoca4 running...
kbuildsycoca4(3570) KBuildSycoca::checkTimestamps: checking file
timestamps
kbuildsycoca4(3570) KBuildSycoca::checkTimestamps: timestamps
check ok kbuildsycoca4(3570) kdemain: Emitting
notifyDatabaseChanged ()
kbuildsycoca4 is the KDE4 (KDE Build System Config Cache)
And what do you call your equivalent to kbuildsycoca4?
I think you have a KDE4/Qt4 problem -- who would
have thought...
Nuke it!
But if you want a clean printout, okular is king. Telling evince to
fit to page runs stuff off the top and bottom of the page, on a
printer that claims to be borderless, but is perfect as a viewer. I
haven't used kpdf enough to reach a conclusion on that point, but
clicking on links within a document that point to another section of
that same document does not work, so I wind up using okular or
evince again, where IIRC it does, I think, thinker needs more
caffeine this time of the morning as it just short of 5 am here.
So to get this straight in my ancient head, which of the 3 is the
TDE preferred pdf utility?
In the list of pdf viewer/printers possible

You may be having problems with the servers due to an issue that was discussed
by Slavek, et al., in an earlier thread.
Something was said about using Trinity's servers rather than another; and I
