Public bug reported: For Ubuntu 17.04 and earlier, we patched several (but not all) GNOME apps to show help:ubuntu-help when run in Unity but still show help :gnome-help when run in GNOME.
That won't work anymore with 17.10. Test Case --------- You can see this by installing gnome-shell then logging into GNOME. (It's probably easiest to choose lightdm if asked unless you install ubuntu-gnome-desktop because of LP: #1686257 ) Open the Help app. It should display either Ubuntu's Help or GNOME's Help but it instead loads the All Help page because it can't find help :gnome-help. Easy Suggested Fix ------------------ bzr mv ubuntu-help gnome-help Be sure to set Conflicts: gnome-user-guide Then we probably need to change all the places that point to help :ubuntu-help to point to help:gnome-help unless someone really wants to maintain a Unity Help Guide. Alternate Suggested Fix ----------------------- We could just install gnome-user-guide instead of ubuntu-docs. Depending on how much customization is wanted, you could fork gnome- user-guide later. And update help:ubuntu-help links to help:gnome-help like in the previous fix. Later ---- I think we'll eventually want a transitional package once we figure out what package name we're going to stick with. ** Affects: ubuntu-docs (Ubuntu) Importance: High Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Documentation Packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-docs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1686267 Title: please move ubuntu-help/ to gnome-help/ Status in ubuntu-docs package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: For Ubuntu 17.04 and earlier, we patched several (but not all) GNOME apps to show help:ubuntu-help when run in Unity but still show help :gnome-help when run in GNOME.
