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 Connecting to deprecated signal QDBusConnectionInterface::serviceOwnerChanged(QString,QString,QString) QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication.

This will leak standalone popupmenus and could lead to crashes.
======= I reran it, got the same spew, but it appeared to work ok for what I wanted to check.
evince, fwiw, has no such spew.

But Gene, I do not think okular is TDE application. What does it have to do with TDE?

This is also true, but evince has some printing code thats broken. Views nice, but printing fails in wierd ways. Does tde have its own version of a universal pdf viewer/printer driver? An okular workalike?

I have never used anything else but kpdf (package kpdf-trinity) for the past 15+ years. it prints also just fine. I have seen okular once or twice, but no idea what you mean by workalike. The printing is done by the cups server. It took some time to configure 10y ago. I replaced printer last year HP 5L -> HP M402dn - no issues. The 5L was not maintainable anymore (or at least it was not worth). I hope the new one will serve another 10y.

I think I now understand what you mean - you want to be able to create PDF documents from universal viewer ... there is nothing universal, but better or worse integrated apps.
Honestly I do not know what can be used in equivalence in TDE. I use OpenOffice and produce PDF, which open by default in KPDF. Sometimes I print web pages to PDF. It works also great.

Actually, I am reading the documentation for LinuxCNC, which is ATM 799 pages but will gain 30 or before too long because a new qt5 based interface is being written. okular/evince are about equal in reading, but evince can muck things up while printing if you check the fit to page option. Last time I tried kpdf, it bombed out. But that was before this wheezy install, and its not installed now. xpdf is there but has no file open dialog so what good is that. and I tried libreoffice a few weeks back and it chocked and died on a much smaller pdf. I don't have openoffice. I just ran libreoffice6.1 which failed on that pdf, and I'll have to use a root session of htop to get rid of it, won't quit. I'll install kpdf and see what sort of a mop I need. :-)

But it can't open anything in /usr/share/doc/linuxcnc. You can type it into the path, and it reverts to /home/gene when you hit return to get a file listing in that directory. So AFAIAC it still does not have a file open dialog. Useless to me.

that is strange. I am now looking at /usr/....
at the top of the dialog there is a field called 'filter'; have you tried your hand at that?

I wiped it out. Hitting return in the lower path entry line restores it in the filter field too.

Yours maybe, not mine as I'm still on wheezy. I have to open a Konsole and start it from the cli. No biggie.

Which would not back up past /home/gene the first time, but has everytime since. 3 times now. Viewing reproduction seems excellent, and calling print brings up the equally good TDEPrint menu. So I assume it will work but I have 2 copies now, so I'm not going to waste another ream of paper, and all that ink until there is a real update that includes the QT5 gui rewrite currently in progress.
By then I hope to have the stretch install respin in hand. Hopefully with a working network, every install I've tried so far has not had a working network due to a lack of a route as it ignores that which you put in e/n/i, and it takes a complex route statement that is not shown in the man page for route to make it work, applied after the first boot. Pain in the arse.
Trying to shove this ip stuff down our throats with even poorer man pages is NOT working well as someone has apparently decreed there are to be no syntax examples in the new man pages. What were they smoking? I sure as hell don't want any of /that/ stuff.
Anyway, kpdf looks like it might work ok. Thanks for making me aware of it as I'd assumed it was deprecated when it was no longer in the menu's under office.

The upper one, no, the lower one. yes. xpdf has always been the black sheep, been around without any great tlc since the later '90's when I first installed red hat 5.0, so nothing its does surprises me. Why its even in the tde menu's is a small puzzle to me. A slightly larger puzzle is why kpdf is not.

And thats a bummer. My installed copy of kpdf-trinity won't open anything not in my home directory. What the heck good is that when the majority of what I might want to read with it is in /usr/share/doc. That ought to generate a bug report. But okular works...
And on running it a second time, I was able to back out of my home dir and get to the file. Weirdsville. But the file it opened is about 10 months out of date and it was downloaded and refreshed this morning because it was new in the lcnc repo. So I'm still puzzled.
But I've been there before too...

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 is the KDE4 (KDE Build System Config Cache)
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?

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.

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 quote:
For now, you can use mirror on http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity-sb instead of http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb
Cheers
Slávek

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.

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
quote:
For now, you can use mirror on
http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity-sb instead of http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb
I'll switch to that if this ever gets done. But for now I'm going to the garage and see if I can coax an r-pi into running a 75 yo Sheldon lathe to make about 3/8" of 10-24 threads on the end of a probing finger for a cnc tool. Clearly Bill, I have too many hobbies at 84 yo myself. ;-)
Take care now.

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?

These computers and stuff are a big waste of time sometimes. I keep telling everybody, it's just a passing fad, a bad dream, and pretty soon we will all awaken again.

I got the finger/styli made, not proud of it, but functional I think. But the left knee has stood in front of a lathe about long enough for now, trade hats for a chefs hat and see if I can please the missus. I can occasionally. :) Snowing yet here. No great accumulation, but its been at it a while. Just enough to let the idiots behind the wheel prove they still are. They need a couple winters in the Dakota's or Montana with nothing but a 125cc dirt bike for a chair car. Teach em how to drive in this stuff...

Some, but I was busy too, usually keeping some tv station on the air. Thats what I did from '62 till I retired. Got interesting at times, like opening the door to walk back to the Bronco parked 3 miles back down North Mtn CO, and discovering that while I could hear the wind blowing while I was replacing a VA-723 klystron in a microwave radio, that it had buried the shack in fresh powder. Thank $Diety someone had planted 30 foot poplar poles alongside the road for markers, I could see those, along with 60 kajillian stars overhead, but your hand a foot below eyelevel. Nope. But I slogged thru 4 to 6 feet of moving powder and got back to the Bronco, lugging a big red tube caddy, a smaller toolbox and a 35 mhz Phillips scope, in about 2 hours. Got it turned around and by the time I got back to the country store about 30 miles west of Telleride, I was just in time to get the first sample of the first coffee of the day, gas up the bronco and head for Slick Rock & turn left and eventually New Mexico. That job showed me a lot of high, 10,000 foot or more back country that wasn't inhabited, not even by game, so you were for sure on your own if trouble developed.
In those days, spare time usually found me at the rifle range, looking for the magic load that could make 10 bullets fit thru one ragged hole. 100 meters away. And when the weather warms up, I'll be back at that again.

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. ?????
I see in one of the mime menu's that kpdf isn't called kpdf-trinity, but kpdf-part?
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.
I also did one full pass of memtest86-5.01. 1:10:30 in wall time before I rebooted to the new stuffs. No problems other than it ran the cpu as a single, and 10C hotter than normal, at around 47C.
And thats 15 minutes just getting everything restarted correctly once I log back in.
Bill
And I might add, nearly 2 hours updateing as I just did it yesterday including the reboot, but today as mirror.xcer.cz is running at about 20 kb/sec and theres 151 files to update, just the download will be over an hour. This is Friday, and I just did this yesterday morning.
You cannot convince me that 2 or 3 programmers have patched 151 files in 1 day. I should only have to update that which has been modified, but it looks as if I'm being fed nearly the whole thing even if its just a rebuild with no changes. So what causes this?
Since I'm near the right coast of the US, in WV, is there a closer mirror?
And why is kpdf un-authenticated? Am I missing a key? Thats 4 questions.
Now its (xcer.cz) down to 18kb/sec, 45 minutes to go. Sigh. Later obviously, much later.

Perhaps it is time to go for a walk and wait until the mirrors are synced or whatever is on the way is settled down. I learned this when I was 35 - it does not make sense to go against fate.

It is in my office menus, FWIW, even though I almost never run programs except my alt-F2 or command-line. (Actually, I find that KPDF occurs in my menus no less than 3 times, maybe more that I haven't found.) In any case, I believe that you can insert any item, including kpdf, into your menu manually, using TDE Menu Editor: alt-F1, then right-click on office and edit menu.

I looked at kmenuedit this afternoon, and got the impression i didn't have perms to do anything to it. RunnIng Kfindapps didn't find it either, yet /opt/trinity/bin is in my $PATH. so I gave up, figure smarter folks could tell me what to do next, and went to carve some steel. Made a touch stylus from a 1/4x2" grade 12 cap screw. Works well but my cabling is acting as an antenna, picking up noise which equals false trips. Tomorrow. This new machine is painted with epoxy paint, and NOTHING is grounded like it should be. Mutter mutter.

In any case, I believe that you can insert any item, including kpdf, into your menu manually, using TDE Menu Editor: alt-F1, then right-click on office and edit menu.

I looked at kmenuedit this afternoon, and got the impression i didn't have perms to do anything to it. RunnIng Kfindapps didn't find it either, yet /opt/trinity/bin is in my $PATH. so I gave up, figure smarter folks could tell me what to do next, and went to carve some steel. Made a touch stylus from a 1/4x2" grade 12 cap screw. Works well but my cabling is acting as an antenna, picking up noise which equals false trips. Tomorrow. This new machine is painted with epoxy paint, and NOTHING is grounded like it should be. Mutter mutter.

You might want to look into that permissions problem. Are you generally able to run programs as root? Somebody else may want to jump in here, as I've never had issues about changing my KDE3 or TDE menus.
Is your system is set up for multiple users? That would be a reason to restrict permissions on such items.

No, each user should be able to edit his own menu; if he can't, there's a permission problem.

Generally, what need root, works as root, so I don't THINK theres an ownership problem.

No, not real users although I do run some things as their own user just for sandboxing.
Interestingly looooooong list of root owned stuff, all dated Juner 17 2016, which is the date I installed wheezy IIRC.
gene@coyote:~$ ls -lR |grep root -|wc -l 7927
And while I know it only takes 1 to screw it up, 7927 files here in my /home/gene directory does sound excessive.
Thanks Bill

I rather thought so, but I don't deal with multiple users; except on rare occasions, that is, when I use other people's computers, or public computers.

Weird. You would have put them there as root, I think.
gene@coyote:~$ ls -lR |grep root -|wc -l 7927
In my $HOME/.trinity directory:
stekru[0]~/.trinity:$ ll -R | grep root -rw-r--r-- 1 stekru stekru 6634 2019.03.04 20:22.31 root.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 stekru stekru 6634 2018.06.19 11:20.05 root.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 stekru stekru 6634 2018.09.13 14:30.04 root.desktop
Meaning there are *no* files owned by root and I think that's the way it should be.
You can try (in $HOME and if your TDE config directory is actually ".trinity" and not ".kde3" or something else; and if your actual user name is "gene", of course):
sudo chown --recursive gene:gene .trinity/*
Maybe for testing it'd be a little easier to just create a new user, log into TDE as this new user and check…
HTH
Kind regards, Stefan

I've been gene for 84 years. The only place I'm not is at the bank, who insists on by birth certificate name. A right pain in the ass.
This is an old tde install. And it looks as if everyting in /opt/trinity is owned by root:root.
sudo chown --recursive gene:gene .trinity/*
Done.

Hopefully you did not change that. I was saying (or trying to say) to change back everything in $HOME/.trinity to gene:gene ...

Done.
How did that work?

No reported errors, no change in behaviour. Its as if kfindapps never looks in /opt/trinity.
Or something like that.

Did you get these permissions straightened out? If any of those root-owned files are still in use, it could be causing all sorts of problems.

I changed them all in gene/.trinity back to gene:gene. No change in behaviour. The rest appear to be from the original wheezy install in 2016.

Does that look like a good install? I don't see anything in a *bin at all.
Yes it does, but you could do "apt-get clean " from time to time.
now time to run
