Description Trevor Lowing 2005-09-11 13:48:58 UTC 
I sleected about 90% of all packages using an advanced install option and none
of the help packages were installed. So SuSe Help center is now useless. Most
importantly , "SUSE Linux documentation" should always be installed by default.
Comment 1 Andreas Jaeger 2005-09-11 14:04:03 UTC 
Stefan,  aren't those in the selections?
Comment 2 Stefan Dirsch 2005-09-11 15:00:34 UTC 
Sure they are (susehelp*). What do you mean with "advanced install option"? The
"Help and Support Documentation" selection is part of the default selections
(required, you can't deselect).
Comment 3 Trevor Lowing 2005-09-11 23:00:42 UTC 
By advanced install option I mean I went to the "Advanced" tab during install
and selected most of the checkboxes except for the server type stuff. I didn't
unselect anything.

1) I click on "SUSE Help Center" on the taskbar.

2)I get a warning ":A search index does not yet exist. Do you want to create the
index now?

3) Select "Yes"

4) Dialog "Build search Index". Every single listing has a status of "missing"
except "KDE  Application Manuals" says "OK".

5) What the hell, delect everything but "KDE  Application Manuals" and selct
"Build Index". 

6) Dialog "Buildinjg Index" runs and reports a bunch of not found errors.
Comment 4 Stefan Dirsch 2005-09-12 06:12:58 UTC 
Please go in YaST2 software selection and tell me which selections are 
selected. I need to know which kind of installation you did.

Sorry, I don't know the format of the user.sel file. Can't you simply tell me,
which software selections you have enabled?
Comment 8 Stefan Dirsch 2005-09-12 19:53:39 UTC 
Nice that YaST can read this configuration. But I'm neither YaST nor a YaST 
programmer.
Comment 9 Trevor Lowing 2005-09-13 00:51:55 UTC 
I give up. Goole works just find for most help anyhow.
Comment 10 Stefan Dirsch 2005-09-13 01:06:28 UTC 
I'm assigning to maintainer of susehelp now. Maybe he can tell you, which  
packages need to be installed to use it and then we could try to figure out,  
why these were not installed in your case.

> I give up. Goole works just find for most help anyhow.
I gave up as well. :-(
Comment 13 Andreas Jaeger 2006-01-25 07:23:54 UTC 
Reopening - please check this with 10.1 Beta1/Beta2 again!
Comment 14 Will Stephenson 2006-02-14 11:15:28 UTC 
Works for me now with beta3.  I have fixed a bug with the way docbooks are generated that may have caused this.  Reopen if it still causes a problem.

htdig, suselinux-manual_en and susehelp[_en] are installed so it should have worked.
