I’m running Tumbleweed with all the Mono stuff installed. Monodevelop runs OK, and some .NET applications also. However, Monodoc starts up and shows the table of content on the left side of the Window, but the right side of the windows, where I would expect the content to be displayed, is black. Cannot select anything there, so I assume that it is not some ‘black characters on black background’ display setting.
When I start monodoc from a bash window, the following is displayed:
armin@armin-pc:~> monodoc
Error: did not find one of the files in sources//usr/lib/monodoc/sources/gd2i

Does anyone have an idea what might be wrong with my system?
I’m attempting to duplicate this, but I’m unable to determine which package monodoc is in. Can you provide some details about how you installed Mono and what repositories you have enabled on your system?
It looks like the error shown immediately after you execute the monodoc command may be related - it kinda looks like it might be intended to be some sort of URI but is missing the :, so it might be a bug that needs to be reported.

Thanks. It looks like the installation require a library (libgluezilla0) from another repo as well (the Mono repo) - not really surprising that it’s not working since its requirements aren’t fulfilled from a single repo. Without that library, the app just crashed, but that’s not actually listed as a requirement in the RPM’s requirements file.
I would probably submit a bug in bugzilla about this issue. I was able to duplicate the issue with this information, but only by pulling in that additional library from the Mono repo and running from the Mono Factory repo (which isn’t recommended as that’s a staging area AIUI).
You should open a bug in bugzilla, providing as much info about what you installed and from where, and what the results were.
