Okular no longer works

Crimsonknave · 2008-10-22 18:09:51

I recently updated to kdegraphics 4.1.2-3 on arch64 and had previously grown fond of Okular. Now when I try and use it it pops up an error box that says "Unable to find the Okular Component" the googling I did just showed me some commits where they added that to the source. After I exit out of the error it makes a small window with the title Okular, but that window is empty, no menus, or anything inside.

I'm not sure what would information would be useful to help fix this.

I have just installed Okular, and I have the same problem. Did you solve this?

tavianator · 2009-10-30 16:17:52

You mean 4.3.2-1?

Are there any useful messages if you run okular from the console?

aka_hans · 2009-10-31 00:35:44

Yep, version 4.3.2-1

The console output doesn't really help:

kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib/libkdeinit4_klauncher.so
kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib/libkdeinit4_kded4.so
kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib/libkdeinit4_kbuildsycoca4.so
kbuildsycoca4 running...
kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib/libkdeinit4_kbuildsycoca4.so
kbuildsycoca4 running...
kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib/libkdeinit4_kconf_update.so
kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/bin/knotify4

And then I get a window saying "Unable to find the Okular Component".

You are not runnnig KDE, right? Else you shouldn't see the kdeinit messages. What is your desktop environment, then?

aka_hans · 2009-11-02 08:14:25

Openbox, but other KDE programs work just fine (Kiten, Kopete)

Did a full system upgrade, and now Okular works fine. Maybe there is a dependency missing in the okular package?

I was having the same problem just now, it started after a system upgrade last night. Did another one today and it picked up a new version of extra/kdelibs (4.4.3-2 -> 4.4.4-1) and now Okular works again.

This problem was all over the forum yesterday.

BTW, could you mark the thread as solved, please?

Cheers
