when i try to do a print preview with okular i get a dialogbox saying it couldn't open an okular.ps file in /tmp. this is weird too because the file has rw permissions for the user. suggestions? -- In friendship, prad ... with you on your journey Towards Freedom http://www.towardsfreedom.com (website) Information, Inspiration, Imagination - truly a site for soaring I's

Did you disable DRM support in Okular? -- Pierre Schmitz Clemens-August-Straße 76 53115 Bonn Telefon 0228 9716608 Mobil 0160 95269831 Jabber pierre@jabber.archlinux.de WWW http://www.archlinux.de

pierre, checking or unchecking the Obey DRM limitations box has no effect. is there another way to disable DRM? -- In friendship, prad ... with you on your journey Towards Freedom http://www.towardsfreedom.com (website) Information, Inspiration, Imagination - truly a site for soaring I's
No, but that check box should disable it if there is any DRM in the pdf (which might not be the case for most pdf!) Maybe verify if the disk hosting /tmp is full? Try "df" to see if it is... 2009/6/14 prad <prad@towardsfreedom.com>

Just to bump this discussion -- I too am having this problem. /tmp is definitely not empty, and there is no DRM in this document (it was produced by me via pdflatex). Does anyone know what else might cause this? -- Thanks, Leonid Grinberg

leonid, i got this response from the forums: "Since it's a print preview, the file is stored in /tmp, which okular doesn't like. You need to move the file or get another viewer program for it to work, unless there is a setting in okular that can fix this." http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=74026 however, it makes no sense to me that okular won't like /tmp since i thought /tmp was supposed to be used for just such a purpose by programs. nor could i find anything in okular options to make a change. -- In friendship, prad ... with you on your journey Towards Freedom http://www.towardsfreedom.com (website) Information, Inspiration, Imagination - truly a site for soaring I's
Aha, I see. I'll look further into it -- I rarely need to use print preview, but I resort to evince when I have to, and this is really a bug that needs to be squashed. Thanks for the link! -- Leonid On Thu, Jun 25, 2009 at 02:05, prad<prad@towardsfreedom.com> wrote:
