Description Ian Laurie 2022-03-20 21:17:31 UTC
Description of problem:
yelp is installed by multiple GUIs (Xfce/LXQt for example) but is usable only in GNOME due to "OnlyShowIn=GNOME;Unity;" being in the launcher.  The MATE GUI installs yelp but calls it via another launcher that is MATE specific and visible to the GUI.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
yelp-42~beta-1.fc36.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Additional info:
The OnlyShowIn directive needs to be removed in GUIs not providing their own indirect way of launching yelp.  Alternatively Xfce/LXQt and possibly others need their own launcher to call yelp indirectly (as per how MATE does it).

This issue came to light while going through the required test procedures for the F36 beta 1.1/1.2 composes.

This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 36 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 36 on 2023-05-16.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained.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
'version' of '36'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 36 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 Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Fedora Linux 36 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2023-05-16.

Fedora Linux 36 is no longer maintained, which means that it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 Linux
please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Note that the version
field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see
the version field.

If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against an
active release.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
