Actually, this is not just on a live session. This issue also remains on Lubuntu after it's been fully installed on a new computer.
Same workaround - installing yelp - solves this issue. ** Description changed: In a Lubuntu Vivid daily Live Session test (20150109), I tried to access the Help section in file-roller and got the following error message: Could not display help The specified location is not supported Expected: to access the help section for file-roller. Steps to recreate: Boot Lubuntu Vivid live session on USB Open Accessories > "Archive Manager" In main menu, select "Help" > "Contents" (OR press F1) + Workaround: + Install yelp. + + Versions affected: Vivid (Live Session), Vivid (installed) + lsb_release -rd: Description: Ubuntu Vivid Vervet (development branch) Release: 15.04 (Actually Lubuntu) apt-cache policy file-roller: file-roller: - Installed: 3.14.2-0ubuntu1 - Candidate: 3.14.2-0ubuntu1 - Version table: - *** 3.14.2-0ubuntu1 0 - 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ vivid/main amd64 Packages - 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status + Installed: 3.14.2-0ubuntu1 + Candidate: 3.14.2-0ubuntu1 + Version table: + *** 3.14.2-0ubuntu1 0 + 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ vivid/main amd64 Packages + 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Hardware profile: https://gist.github.com/e4e4d9d3e41ccf5c27c7 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.04 Package: file-roller 3.14.2-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.18.0-8.9-generic 3.18.1 Uname: Linux 3.18.0-8-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.15.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CasperVersion: 1.347 CurrentDesktop: LXDE Date: Sat Jan 10 01:45:39 2015 LiveMediaBuild: Lubuntu 15.04 "Vivid Vervet" - Alpha amd64 (20150109) ProcEnviron: - TERM=xterm - PATH=(custom, no user) - XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> - LANG=en_US.UTF-8 - SHELL=/bin/bash + TERM=xterm + PATH=(custom, no user) + XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> + LANG=en_US.UTF-8 + SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: file-roller UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Summary changed: - File Roller on Live Session: "Could not display help, the specified location is not supported" + File Roller help is missing in Lubuntu: "Could not display help, the specified location is not supported" ** Also affects: lubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: lubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1409185 Title: File Roller help is missing in Lubuntu: "Could not display help, the specified location is not supported" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/file-roller/+bug/1409185/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
