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).
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

KPDF is King! !!!!!!!
Well now, if kpdf is king, why isn't it in my menus under office? Or anyplace else.
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.
