presenter.vala:278: Operation not supported

Open rightaditya opened this issue 12 years ago • 3 comments

On Ubuntu 12.04, using the latest git version, I can't run pdfpc at all. I get the following on both my own presentation and the demo presentation:

pdfpc v3.0 (C) 2012 David Vilar (C) 2009-2011 Jakob Westhoff

Initializing rendering...

** (pdfpc:4666): ERROR **: presenter.vala:278: Operation not supported Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

Did you do a "make install"? This message is shown when pdfpc cannot find its icons. I just changed master so that a warning is shown when this is the case, but it starts nonetheless.

Thanks for the info. It looks like when I did "make install" it created the /usr/local/share/pixmaps and /usr/local/share/pixmaps/pdfpc with 750 permissions. It may be because of my umask (007), but the svg files had proper permissions (i.e. were readable by all), so maybe not. I don't use CMake so I don't know how to check :(

Probably it is because of the umask. It seems that cmake sets the permissions explicitly for the files it installs, but not for the intermediate directories. I will look into it.
