This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --nextPart3550848.VQhiAETyHQ Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7Bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Fedora 33, KDE/Plasma desktop, LabPlot version 2.7.0 from the Fedora repository I touch LabPlot once a year for a special need, so much of my knowledge evaporates over the year. It is time for me to get back to it. I have a project with a workbook that links to a CSV file of values. I figured out how to create a basic plot. Now I have two problems: 1) When I save the project, the plots are NOT saved. Every time I open the project, I have to create the plots again. Who can I save plots? 2) Once the plots are created, I want to print them to PDF and export them to JPG. File-Print and File-Export do nothing. It is like clicking on /dev/null. There is no error, no windows pop up, nothing is printed ... How can I get these features to work? It is almost like LabPlot thinks there is nothing to print. If I select the worksheet, then File-Export does work. Of course, that's not what I want to export! When i select a plot, I get nothing. Snaps are not an option. The version of LabPlot in the snap library is 2.6.0 which does not have some of the features I need. Flatpaks are not an option because the flatpak package requires Wayland, and I cannot run that. The nVidia display driver does not work with Wayland. And as a matter of sensibility, the flatpak wants to install something like 2 gigabytes of stuff. WTF????? I tried compiling 2.8.1 from source, but that throws hundreds of dependency errors. I have no idea what it is asking for. -- Could NOT find KF5Archive (missing: KF5Archive_DIR) -- Could NOT find KF5Archive: found neither KF5ArchiveConfig.cmake nor kf5archive-config.cmake -- Could NOT find KF5Completion (missing: KF5Completion_DIR) -- Could NOT find KF5Completion: found neither KF5CompletionConfig.cmake nor kf5completion-config.cmake I am open for suggestions.
