Description Sudhir Khanger 2015-09-26 18:18:18 UTC

Fonts Management isn't showing any fonts. When I try to add a font, personal or systemwide, it shows unable to start backend.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. kcmshell5 fontinst
2. click +Add
3.

Actual Results:  
1. It will scan for fonts but not find/show any.
2. When adding personal or systemwide fonts it shows unable to start backend.

Should be fixed with
https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/workspace/plasma-desktop/repository/revisions/f367041d84027d8f173d0f0ccb7c893398691365

consistently use KAUTH_HELPER_INSTALL_ABSOLUTE_DIR 

... in preference to CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX/KAUTH_HELPER_INSTALL_DIR, 
which assumes KAUTH_HELPER_INSTALL_DIR is always relative (which may 
not be true) 


applied to fedora packaging plasma-desktop-5.4.1-6

Still seeing this in F23 KDE spin with all patches applied (NVidia GeForce 
GTX 650). Also seeing it on a machine with GeForce GT630 and on a ThinkPad 
T410 with NVidia GT218M [NVS3100M]. All three are using the nouveau driver.
