Description Joanmarie Diggs (IRC: joanie) 2010-12-12 15:16:11 UTC 
I'm guessing this is just something that will go away once we tackle the gtk-related GNOME 3.0 stuff. Noneless, logging it just in case.

Traceback (most recent call last):

+ Trace 225090

  • File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/orca/orca_gui_main.py", line 162 in helpButtonClicked 
    orca.helpForOrca()
  • File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/orca/orca.py", line 1757 in helpForOrca

I see equals traceback error message when I clicking help button, the difference only in my testing Natty system have default Python 2.7.

So after some investigating:

This doesn't affect just Orca. It does not require Orca. It's not an accessibility thing. I cannot get help to display in Natty for gnome-terminal, Evolution, Rhythmbox, or Orca. All with the same error. There are probably more impacted apps but I grew bored trying.

I have since tracked down a downstream bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/695260

I have since added comments about my findings based on what gio told me (namely there is no app associated for URIs that begin with 'ghelp', and that the Help application, yelp, doesn't support URIs). Based on all that, I'm closing this bug out as NOTGNOME. Help in at least Natty is borked across the board for all users whether they need a11y support or not.
