Description Rubens de Souza Matos Júnior 2017-12-13 01:24:23 UTC 
While trying to open PDF files on my drive I get this error message:

Could not open gdrive:/xx.xx@xx.xx.xx/05-cap03b.pdf?id=1_I-aOCrWnhw3Jy85qpGHwPPyFSj88qv6. Reason: Could not start process Unable to create io-slave:
klauncher said: Unknown protocol 'gdrive'.
.

(I omitted my e-mail with xx...)

I've installed kio-gdrive by downloading .deb from http://archive.neon.kde.org/dev/stable/pool/main/k/kio-gdrive/kio-gdrive_1.2.1+p16.04+git20171009.1516-0_amd64.deb

I've also installed the dependencies that were on Debian experimental, unstable, and testing repositories. I can connect to my Drive and open files with kate, gwenview, libreofffice, and even FoxitReader (other PDF viewer), but Okular does not work.

Please run 'kdeinit5' in Konsole and try again. Then copy-paste here the output of kdeinit5.
Comment 2 Rubens de Souza Matos Júnior 2017-12-27 20:36:20 UTC 
The result was the same.

The output of kdeinit5 was:


rubens@vaio:~$ kdeinit5
kdeinit5: Shutting down running client.

Looks like your okular is from KDE4. Is that correct?
Comment 4 Rubens de Souza Matos Júnior 2018-01-05 04:20:42 UTC 
Yes. I had not noticed that until you said it. This is the version 0.26.1, which uses KDE 4.14.36 libraries. It is the default version in Debian stable/testing repositories.

I have just installed the version 1.2.3 from Debian unstable repository, which uses KDE 5.37 libraries, and the Google Drive files are opening successfully.

Thank you very much! I hope this helps to solve the issue for other people too.
