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.
Thanks!
