Description of problem: Selecting Help:Contents shows an invalid URL, not the required manual Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 20.12.2 How reproducible: Happens every time Help|Contents is selected from the menu bar Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select Help|Contents from the menu bar 2. 3. Actual results: An invalid URL is shown Expected results: The Kwave user manual is displayed Additional info: Seeing that "dnf install kwave" also downloads and installs a documentation RPM as /usr/share/doc/HTML/ca/kwave , its rather odd that Help|Content doesn't point to that.
It works for me Select Help|Contents from the menu bar The Kwave Handbook Thomas Eschenbacher <thomas.eschenbacher> Revision 20.07.70 (2020-07-06) Copyright © 1998-2000 Martin Wilz Copyright © 2020 Thomas Eschenbacher Legal Notice Kwave is a simple sound editor built on KDE Frameworks 5.
The Kwave copy I'm using was installed from the kwave.x86_64 20.12.2-1.fc33 rpm package It tries to open https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/kwave/kwave//kwave/index.html when Help:Contents is clicked, F1 is pressed or that URL is opened with Firefox. Since the only result of of doing any of these is a 404 error, I can only assume that the structure of the docs.kde.org website has been restructured but that nobody has updated Kwave yet. I can't see anything relevant to Kwave in ~/.kde under the login where I'm running Kwave.
In my case works without network have you installed khelpcenter-20.12.2-1.fc33.x86_64 ?
anyway the correct link is https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/kwave/kwave/index.html
can you check with other kde app if you got the same problem ? thank you kate for example
khelpcenter has fixed the problem as far as Kwave is concerned: thanks for that tip. Not its installed the problem is solved. However, as the KDE Help Center wasn't installed or even hinted at when I used the RedHat package manager, dnf, to install Kwave it would be a very good idea if it is made a dependency of the Kwave RPM and of any other KDE applications that are packaged for distribution with RedHat's dnf package manager. I also notice that some parts of the KDE Help Center, e.g. referencing the Kwave home page, explicitly depend on the Pale Moon Browser, which is not supported by any RedHat Linux versions. It would be much better if the desktop's default browser is used instead: I use the XFCE desktop and have Brave, Firefox and Lynx browsers installed, with Brave set as my default browser. AFAIK I don't use any other KDE apps, but I suppose that, having now installed the KDE Help Center, the Help problem I discovered with Kwave will not affect any other KDE apps I may decide to use in future.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 33 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 33 on 2021-11-30. 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 '33'. 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 33 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.
My last point has not been addressed: the khelpcenter RPM must be installed or kwave's Help|Content selection (or hitting F1) will not work correctly, but the khelpcenter package is not declared as a requirement by the kwave package. This bug should remain open until khelpcenter is mafe a required dependency of the kwave package.
hi, this bug is fixed on F34, I guess is not about kwave but about some global variable on kde
