Error message shown in the GUI

SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. I double click in the file browser Thunar on a pdf file
2. I try to open the file like this:

$/snap/bin/okular "~/Downloads/2017-11-29_Richard Chimera, Ben Shneiderman_An
Exploratory Evaluation of Three Interfaces for Browsing Large Hierarchical
Tables of Contents.pdf"
2019/12/30 16:04:26.798673 cmd_run.go:889: WARNING: cannot copy user Xauthority
file: open ~/.Xauthority: permission denied
No protocol specified
qt.qpa.xcb: could not connect to display :0.0
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it
was found.
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be
initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen,
vnc, wayland-egl, wayland, wayland-xcomposite-egl, wayland-xcomposite-glx, xcb.

Abgebrochen
$

3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
1. Okular opens with its GUI but ti tells that it could not open the file whose
name contains blancs.

2. Error messages see above. What do all the other messages mean and what has
to be done to fix them. Something must be utterly wrong with this snap
installed Okular!

BTW: in the GUI, Open>File does not work. This error has been reported esarlier
as bug 415332.


EXPECTED RESULT


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version:

Qt Version:             Qt 5.12.3 (kompiliert gegen 5.12.3)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
