Hi,
I recently upgraded my laptop and my workstation to 13.04 from 12.10 (64bit), and I'm having an annoying problem on my laptop (but not on my workstation!):
When I try to open a PDF file using Okular from the plasma environment (from krunner, dolphin, kmail, and Firefox), I can't open any files; Okular itself starts up, but whenever I try to open a file, I get the message "Could not open /path/to/file.pdf". However, when I run Okular from the terminal and open a PDF file, it works perfectly fine.
This does not happen on my workstation (although there are other problems), and the Adobe Acrobat Reader works perfectly fine as well. (But I would prefer to use okular.)
I also noticed that Gwenview and VLC have similar problems (i.e. can't open files when called through Plasma, but work fine when run from the terminal); it looks like this might be a general issue (but Gwenview and VLC are not as crucial as Okular).
My uneducated guess is that some backend libraries are not loaded correctly in Plasma, because the environment is not set up correctly.
Any Ideas?
