Description
Noel McLoughlin
2016-01-31 00:41:03 UTC
Observed with VM (qemu/kvm) with minimal RAM (1 GiB); increasing RAM to 1500MiB provides a more responsive experience.
Now clicking the [Help!] button opens a help window with following text:
Unknown Error
URL cannot be shown
Baseline is anaconda-core 24.10-1,
Fedora-Live-Workstation-x86_64-rawhide-20160131.iso
Tested with 2GiB RAM allocated to VM but behaviour is not improved. You need to click [Help!] a few times and a help window may appear. This is a regression in yelp, introduced in the 3.18 series - it fails at opening paths to files provided from the command line, which is what Anaconda (and probably other software) use to present help content to users with yelp. For F23 this has been tracked as bug 1276226 and "fixed" by downgrading yelp to the 3.17, which is why yelp works in the F23 installer & system. But on Rawhide (and thus for F24 in the future) the regression has still not been fixed. A simple way to check: echo "Hello world!" > test.txt yelp test.txt This works correctly on F23 (shows "Hello world!" in the yelp window) but is broken on Rawhide (shows "URL cannot be shown"). Looks the fix is being worked on: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=753443 This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 24 development cycle. Changing version to '24'. More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Program_Management/HouseKeeping/Fedora24#Rawhide_Rebase This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component. This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '24'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 24 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-08-08. Fedora 24 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
