Greetings;
After this mornings update, which refreshed about 25% of tde, I ran
okular to check on the docs for something synaptic showed me in a
changelog from linuxcnc, and got this spew in the terminal I ran
okular from after I had rebooted:
gene@GO704:~$ okular
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). 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
Cheers, Gene Heskett
