Hi,
I use XFCE desktop, on 13.1.
When in Amarok I hit F1 for help, or click on the help menu, I get a
firefox tab opened at:
http://nimrodel.valinor/susehelp/index.html.en
which was my previous machine, replaced years ago. Of course it fails.
Somewhere it is storing that link: /etc/sysconfig/susehelp:
DOC_HOST="nimrodel.valinor"
which I now change to the correct name:
DOC_HOST="telcontar.valinor"
I try again F1 on amarok, and without the need to restart, it now tells
firefox to go to:
http://telcontar.valinor/susehelp/cgi-bin/showdir.cgi?lang=en&depth=1&cgiprefix=/susehelp/cgi-bin/&fileprefix=&header=1
which is an index of pages, not the amarok index:

Release Notes

changes for this openSUSE release

KDE Application Manuals

System administration documentation
Obviously, I click on “KDE Application Manuals”, but the resulting page
is empty, only the header or tittle.
On “KDE Introduction” there is another “Applications” entry, but the
result is the same: no manuals.
Is there another way to display the KDE Application Manuals?
I tried on the CLI typing “kde tab tab” to see names, but nothing
appears labelled as “help”. And as I’m not using the KDE desktop, but
XFCE, I do not see if there is some other way that you people use.
I do not see anything obvious in the “kde settings” dialog :-?
Help in “kde settings” also fails, by the way.
Or are the help pages on a separate package?
I remember having problems with KDE help since ever, in many machines.
Seldom worked right. I thought this had been solved years ago…
In the amarok rpm, I do not see files with “help”, “manual” or “html” in
the names. Nothing in “/usr/share/doc/packages/amarok/” either. Well, a
readme. And an online url. Which eventually sends me to:
https://userbase.kde.org/Amarok
https://userbase.kde.org/Amarok/Manual
I normally distrust online documentation, for many reasons. One, that it
may refer to a more recent version that what I have installed. Another,
that you need Internet…
