okular not working

[blobfish]

okular is not working here. I can run the app and open a pdf and it just stalls..does nothing. The terminal spits out:

This backend is only for XRandR 1.1, your version is:  1 . 4

anybody else getting this?

[Snowhog]

Works fine here (64-bit 14.04, KDE 4.12.95). When searching on okular, Muon shows these three packages as installed:

okular
okular-extra-backends
libokularcore3abi1

[blobfish]

thanks for checking snowhog, but i already have these

$ dpkg --get-selections | grep okular
libokularcore3                                  install
libokularcore3abi1                              install
okular                                          install
okular-extra-backends                           install

You have both the 32-bit and 64-bit libokularcore3 libraries installed. Why? If you are running a 64-bit Kubuntu, then you don't need/want libokularcore3.

[blobfish]

I purged the libokularcore3, but it didn't help

$ dpkg --get-selections | grep okular
libokularcore3abi1                              install
okular                                          install
okular-extra-backends                           install

[blobfish]

you guys are running 14.04 trusty. right?

[Snowhog]

Yes, with KDE 4.12.95.

[blobfish]

yeah that is what I got. kde 4.12.95 64 bit.

[Snowhog]

Does this 'problem' occur with all types of .pdf documents, or only some?

[blobfish]

I have tried numerous pdfs. None of them work. They all worked in saucy. This is a new install and NOT and upgrade.....before you ask.

I am getting:

which is the same as this guy http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f...art=15#p301860 I don't have a dual monitor like that guy, but my monitor is a little unusual in that it doesn't do EDID and I have to spell it out in the xorg.conf. That is the road I am walking down at the moment.

[Snowhog]

Have you tried using OpenGL 2.0 as your compositing type in 14.04?

[blobfish]

I already had opengl 2 for the compositing. I tried some others. It didn't seem to change anything.

[Snowhog]

What kscreen* packages are installed?

[blobfish]

$ dpkg --get-selections | grep kscreen
kscreen install
libkscreen1 install
libkscreensaver5 install

[Snowhog]

For your situation, do you need kscreen?
