So far I see two problems here:
gnucash starts yelp with the URI
help:///usr/share/gnucash/gnome/help/gnucash/C/gnucash-help.xml, which seems to cause issues.
If it would be using
yelp file:///usr/share/gnucash/gnome/help/gnucash/C/gnucash-help.xml
it would work (I used C language for reference, to not run into the 2nd issue for this test).
the 2nd issue:
pointing to
file:///usr/share/gnucash/gnome/help/gnucash/de_DE/gnucash-help.xml results in this error:
I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/usr/share/gnucash/gnome/help/gnucash/de_DE/Help_ch_Intro.xml"

I very much doubt the quality of the german docs. Have a look at http://www.gnucash.org/docs.phtml then the german help manual at http://www.gnucash.org/docs/v2.4/de_DE/gnucash-help/help.html => this is broken even on the website (English, Italian and Japanese seem to be fine) (at least the used 2.4.1 tarball is broken for german: a bunch of files that is part of svn is not packaged in this tarball... ) Traced the 2nd part down to susehelp: gnucash interlinks with libgnome/gnome-vfs to read from gconf which help application to be used. This is set to be gnome-help on a default install. gnome-help OTOH is a symlink to susehelp. The command executed is: gnome-help ghelp:///usr/share/gnucash/gnome/help/gnucash/de_DE/gnucash-help.xml (note: ghelp:// NO help://) passing this URI down to yelp would work and start up the proper help. BUT: susehelp mangles the URI, replacing ghelp:// with help://, thus resulting in an invalid URI for yelp. Doing the mangling while running yelp is not good... created request id 128514 with a proposed patch for "susehelp" package Recap, in case we want to do a maintenance release for this: - Modified package "gnucash-docs", introducing missing files from SVN - Modified package "susehelp", stopping the mangling of ghelp:// to help:// URIs when running gnome. @Maintenance: worthy to release an online update for 12.1 with this? (note: likely this was already broken in 11.4, as per various forum threads) This is an autogenerated message for OBS integration: This bug (771530) was mentioned in https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/128564 Factory / gnucash-docs Dominique could you do a submitrequest for 12.1 please. And is it possible to backport the fix for 11.4 w/o too much effort? Will prepare the update for 12.1 and see what I can do for 11.4... Submitted (hopefully all correct) for 12.1 11.4 seems to be different in a bunch of aspects: - gnucash-docs is an older version (so submitting the same fix will likely break) - susehelp might be the same issue (it's 100% the same package), but I'll need to install an 11.4 to be able to reproduce it first. Thank You Thank You Thank you. This has been an ongoing problem since at least 10.3! For a while in 11.3 just adding yelp would fix it, but not so in 12.1. Bob. This is an autogenerated message for OBS integration: This bug (771530) was mentioned in https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/129546 Factory / susehelp Update released for 12.1 and 12.2. Resolved fixed. openSUSE-RU-2012:0939-1: An update that has one recommended fix can now be installed. Category: recommended (low) Bug References: 771530 CVE References: Sources used: openSUSE 12.1 (src): gnucash-docs-2.4.1.svn-4.4.1, susehelp-2009.10.06-11.4.1 I don't understand why only the old 586 version has been fixed...this has also affected the 64 bit version for years. Does the fix apply to both versions? And is it now uploaded to Open Suse repos? Thanks very much. I can confirm that after online update the problem being reported was fixed (openSUSE 12.1 (i586)). |
