SUMMARY *** I tried to edit a PDF on a freshly installed and up-to-date KDE Neon. No program worked. I extended an issue for Inkscape (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=461887) and Krita (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=463565). Other software was unable to read the PDF correctly. *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Try any of the available VectorEditors to open my PDF 2. 3. OBSERVED RESULT Either the PDF is read wrong, cannot be read at all or the resulting work cannot be exported. EXPECTED RESULT At least Krita or Inkscape work SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: KDE neon 5.26 KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.101.0 Qt Version: 5.15.7 Kernel Version: 5.15.0-56-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 5700U with Radeon Graphics Memory: 15,0 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD RENOIR Manufacturer: Acer Product Name: Aspire A515-45G System Version: V1.08 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Please report issues with 3rd-party apps to the developers of those apps. Thanks!
I did report the bugs to the app developer and they claim there are packaging issues.
Distro-packaged apps are not supported in Neon; you should get them from Snap or Flatpak. If those apps exhibit packaging errors, they should be reported to the packagers of those apps.
For Inkscape all the available versions (native, snap and flatpak) had bugs (different ones). I reported the bugs here, because they refer to packages installed in KDE Neon with pkcon install. Are these packaged by KDE Neon ( I thought so at least for KRITA to get the most up-to-date version) or just the Ubuntu versions?
KDE apps like Krita are formally supported in KDE Neon's distro packaging. 3rd-party apps like Vedtor and Inkscape are not. But when you experience a bug in the app, it's best to report the bug to the app's developers, not the packagers of the app--unless you have good reason to believe that the issue is caused by a packaging error specifically, rather than a code issue.
