[Bug 805788] Re: Unable to open help

 

could somebody replicate this problem on Natty or Oneiric? That works
fine here, also please try the same with a new user since it might be
that the configuration on your account is broken thus it doesn't work.
Thanks in advance.

Title:
  Unable to open help

Status in “yelp” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I use Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS. Yelp version is 2.30.0.
  The problem is the help is not opening from the menu option in any application.
  I get this error:
  'Could not display help
  The specified location is not supported'

  Some extra information:
  When I run yelp from the terminal I get:

  (yelp:19901): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_tool_button_new: assertion
  `icon_widget == NULL || GTK_IS_MISC (icon_widget)' failed

  (yelp:19901): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid (NULL) pointer instance

  ...and it opens with Ubuntu help Center in it.
