Bug ID: 479683
Summary: Okular does not start due to missing okularpart
Classification: Applications
Product: okular
Version: 24.01.90
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: okular-de...@kde.org
Reporter: madc...@atlas.cz
Target Milestone: ---
Since KDE 6 RC1 Okular does not start with "kf.coreaddons: "Could not find
plugin okularpart" message in the console and the corresponding UI dialog. On
Arch Linux, the "okularpart.so" is installed in
"/usr/lib/qt6/plugins/kf6/parts" which is a path that Okular does not consider
when it attempts to load the plugin. There are other plugins installed on the
same path and applications that use them seem to work fine, which makes me
think that this might not be just a packaging issue.
FWIW, I can get Okular to work by doing this:
