SUMMARY every time i try to save a file out of Okular to a folder in my home-directory, i get the reply "Datei kann nicht in „/tmp/okular.Lufxxf“ gespeichert werden." (file can't save in /tmp/okular.Lufxxf). Out of other applications i can save files without any problem. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. I choose menue |file|save| (or |save as|) and select a sub folder in my home directory 2. When I confirm to save the file, i get the reply, that i can't save in /tmp/... 3. OBSERVED RESULT It is not possible to save any file from okular. EXPECTED RESULT SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.6 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.71.0 Qt Version: 5.12.7 OS: Opensuse Leap 15.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 402017 ***
Why is this a duplicate of bug 402017? This bug report describes that Okular attempts to save in a wrong place. Bug 402017 describes that Okular attempts to read a file from a not existing place. The given example is /tmp/okular.Lufxxf, which does not look like the user opened a file from e. g. KMail, because the filename contains “okular”, not “kmail”. @Joerg: Can you describe how you opened the file?

It's the same result, whether I open a local file and try to save it or i try to save a browser-opend file. Both don't work and i'm asked to choose another directory than /tmp/..., although i selected a folder in my home-directory.
Change the status for further investigation (cannot reproduce it btw).
An other problem with Okular occured today. I can't print from Okular. To get an error-report, i started Okular from console. When i tried to print, the reply on console was "/usr/bin/lpr: Fehler - Zugriff auf »/tmp/okular_IhOqaH.ps« nicht möglich - Keine Berechtigung" witch means: no access to /tmp ... - no authorization.
This really smells like your system is broken/badly configured.
(In reply to Albert Astals Cid from comment #7) > This really smells like your system is broken/badly configured. I don't think so, because only okular shows the problems mentioned above. Other applications work without any problems.
You're not authorized to write to /tmp, sorry but that means your system is broken.
(In reply to Albert Astals Cid from comment #9) > You're not authorized to write to /tmp, sorry but that means your system is > broken. That's not the reason for my problem. I can write to /tmp (I just tested it and saved a file out of kate in /tmp). In the directory access control owner and group are set to root, all others are allowed to read and change. Only okular has some kind of problem with it. Anyway, I don't want to save in /tmp, when I try to save out of okular (I select my home directory), but okular complains, that it can't save to /tmp.
