RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Jan Stavel 2016-07-26 17:23:43 UTC 
Description of problem:

I have RHEL server with desktop installed lately. No browser is installed.

When I click on "online documentation" I see gedit with html source of a page. It is not readable anymore.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:

Everytime.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install server variant
2. Install group "Server with GUI"
3. verify that no web browser is installed
4. click on "online documentation"


Actual results:

gedit shows html raw code.

Expected results:

Something better readable.

You can ensure that firefox is installed or if w3m/lynx is installed,
you can render the html source this way:

lynx -dump -width 80

Comment 2 Chris Snyder 2016-07-29 20:44:00 UTC 
Out of curiosity, how did you end up without firefox installed after installing the group "Server with GUI"?
Comment 3 Jan Stavel 2016-08-01 07:52:40 UTC 
Hi Chris,
I have created a server without any gui in central-ci.
If I remember well, I have installed group "Server with GUI".

I may be wrong with the group I have installed. But the thing I am sure is that I have started with server without any gui. After that I have installed some group to test subscription-manager-gui.

If it is important for you, I will try to reproduce this.

Have a good day,
Jan

Jan,
It seems that the server with GUI installation seems incomplete. We ship firefox with "Server with GUI", so please provide details of reproducer steps.
Comment 5 Jan Stavel 2016-08-02 08:22:08 UTC 
Hi Vritant,
I will do my best for reproducing that.

Have a good day,
Jan
Comment 6 Jan Stavel 2016-08-02 09:30:01 UTC 
Hello Vritant.
you are right.

group "Server with GUI" contains of "firefox".

The right way to install subscription-manager-gui without firefox is:


*** launch instance from an image "rhel-7.2-server-x86_64-released"
    http://dashboard.centralci.eng.rdu2.redhat.com/dashboard/project/instances/

*** register against subscription.rhsm.stage.redhat.com

*** install ddns client
    server name is jstavel-gui-without-firefox.usersys.redhat.com

*** system summary

Comment 7 Jan Stavel 2016-08-02 09:39:47 UTC 
Hello Vritant,
I have noticed that there is a group "Internet Browser" among available install groups.

It seems to be good requirement candidate for subscription-manager-gui.

Have a good day,
Jan
Comment 10 Jan Stavel 2016-08-12 10:13:59 UTC 
Hello Vritant,
I have tried those variants of gnome-help usage:

gnome-help /tmp/aa.html
-> the app opens a window with a message "URL cannot be shown" inside

gnome-help http://www.redhat.com
-> the app opens empty window and new tab in firefox on lauches firefox.

gnome-help file:///tmp/aa.html
-> the app opens a window with a message "URL cannot be shown" inside
