[Bug 1409185] Re: File Roller on Live Session: "Could not display help, the specified location is not supported"

 

This help button does not work. This is because it is intended to launch
yelp the gnome help tool which is not in lubuntu-desktop. Installing
yelp is a workaround that will get help working. Yelp may have been left
out for iso size concerns but this workaround should be documented
somewhere.
