Unhappy Okular - Freeze when opening a pdf file


I am using Debian 11 Bullseye & okular 4.20.12.3-2 version.

When I tried to open a file with okular in terminal (i.e okular x.pdf) it gives no error and opens a okular window. But does not respond. I checked and reinstall some depended libraries but no luck.
I checked the journal logs but no error seems.


What could be the problem, or how can I find its problem? Thanks.

I found its solution ! I found these two files under ~/.config folder :

Quote:
-rw-r----- 1 root root 8388608 Eyl 13 18:08 okularrc.axPJpv.bck
-rw------- 1 root root 1920 Eyl 13 18:08 okularrc.bck
-rw-r-----+ 1 root systemd-journal 8388608 Eyl 13 16:53 okularrc.lock
while okular did not open. I tried to make backups of all of them one by one and try to open okular. And finally, when I did :
Code:
$ sudo cp -v okularrc.lock{,.bck}
'okularrc.lock' -> 'okularrc.lock.bck'
$ sudo rm -v okularrc.lock
'okularrc.lock' deleted
then problem solved, it is unlocked. I do not know why it is locked ! I hope it will helps others too. Continuing to learn Linux everyday...
