My Okular settings are messed up (menus are broken, details probably not important to describe).
I tried purging the package and reinstalling,
tried clearing okular files from “~/.config”,
got no relevant output opening from terminal,
saw nothing in man page bout getting more feedback…?
What do?
I couldn’t find anything on the man page about, like, a flag to get it to tell you what files it’s reading when it starts up or anything like that?
(
the only output I get when I open it from the commandline is:
Unable to open QuickAnnotatingTools XML definition
kf.xmlgui: Shortcut for action “mainToolBar” “Show Toolbar” set with QAction::setShortcut()! Use KActionCollection::setDefaultShortcut(s) instead.
)

Oof yeah, some programs really love to touch a lot of stuff making strace kind of annoying to use. I usually end up chaining more
grep -vpipes on the end as I find files I’m not interested in seeing e.g.strace okular | grep openat | grep -v breeze-dark | grep -v iconMight help to first save it to a file so you don’t have to keep relaunching okular as you add more inverse greps
strace okular | tee some-file ^C cat some-file | grep -v ...@418teapot @dwawlyn BTW strace has some built-in filtering, e.g. strace --trace=openat instead of grepping for openat. Might make it a little easier.
