Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: yelp
Ubuntu 9.04 jaunty Alpha 5 with several hundred package updates applied.
I had asked for help from the Clock applet, and I noticed the help didn't match
the applet, so I chose "Report a Problem", which started up a browser report for
something called "yelp". I double-checked the About menu and was told that
the application was "Help 2.25.1", not "yelp". I did a process listing, and
didn't
see anything named "yelp" running, only "gnome-help". So I read the "yelp"
man page and then started "yelp" from the command line, and it started the
Gnome help application (a second copy). Is the program "gnome-help" called
"yelp" in the packaging and documentation? That's confusing.
I did a process listing, and I could see the yelp I had run from the
command line:
4 0 5840 4796 20 0 121652 50904 poll Sl pts/0 0:03
yelp
I did some searches in the new Gnome help window, then went back to the
previous Clock help window, and at some point the yelp I had run crashed:
I/O error : Is a directory
I/O error : Is a directory
[1]+ Segmentation fault (core dumped) yelp
The top menu bar showed a "!" icon telling me to click on it to report a crash.
I tried to do that; the report a crash application apparently itself crashed
and I
couldn't submit anything that way.
So I started yelp from terminal again, e.g. just typed "yelp" at the bash
prompt.
When yelp opened, I tried "Report a Problem". and I got this mess:
