[Bug 400024] Re: abiword --help tells me to use abiword --help
Thanks for the explanation. Unfortunately, Abiword 2.4.6 has been superceded by Abiword 2.8.1. No fixes will be issued for the 2.4 series. If this is still a problem in 2.8.1, please reopen this report. To reopen the bug report you can click on the current status, under the Status column, and change the Status back to New.

[Bug 400024] Re: abiword --help tells me to use abiword --help
Thanks for reporting this issue. Unfortunately, we need some more information to forward this bug upstream to Abiword developers. I attempted to reproduce this issue using a fresh installation of Xubuntu 8.04. After installing, before updating and after, I typed 'abiword --help' in a terminal window and was given the expected help dialog. I also opened AbiWord, and clicked on help in the menu. This brought up the help at the abiword website. I then installed the package abiword-gnome, which removed the package abiword. I still get the help dialogs when using 'abiword --help'. To assist in resolving this issue, please provide the following details: 1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd. 2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy packagename'. 3) What happens if you open abiword, and click on 'Help - Help contents...' ? ** Changed in: abiword (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- abiword --help tells me to use abiword --help https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/400024 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 400024] Re: abiword --help tells me to use abiword --help
Upstream said it did work in the current version (comment 1) 8.04 ship AbiWord 2.4.x (2.6 was already available, but that's another story). If it is a bug in 2.4.x that don't exist in the current codebase then upstream won't do anything. -- abiword --help tells me to use abiword --help https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/400024 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 400024] Re: abiword --help tells me to use abiword --help
Thanks, Hubert. I actually have two separate systems with 8.04, neither of which can reproduce this issue. I suspect it is something other than abiword causing it. -- abiword --help tells me to use abiword --help https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/400024 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks for your comments everyone. I reconnected to the machine in question and was initially unable to reproduce the problem. I have my shell history from the time; I was trying to use the command-line conversion feature: abiword --to=knowledge.ps knowledge.doc abiword --to=knowledge.pdf knowledge.doc abiword --to=knowledge.sxw knowledge.doc abiword --to=knowledge.odt knowledge.doc abiword --to=pdf knowledge.doc abiword --to=odt knowledge.doc ls *odt ls *.s* ls *.o* abiword ps ax | grep abiword which abiword abiword --help /usr/bin/abiword --help ubuntu-bug abiword ubuntu-bug abiword-gnome ubuntu-bug --help ubuntu-bug -p abiword-gnome At which point ubuntu-bug started up in lynx which I then terminated because I had trouble with launchpad in lynx. abiword --help /usr/bin/abiword --help dpkg -l abiword-gnome abiword --plugin AbiCommand dpkg -L abiword-gnome man abiword abiword --print=foo.ps knowledge.doc ls -l knowledge.* rm knowledge.pdf ls *doc abiword --print=foo.ps knowledge.doc However, I then remembered what I was trying to and discovered how to reproduce the problem: env DISPLAY= abiword --help This didn't turn up in my history since I had su'd to the account which didn't preserve DISPLAY so no explicit env invocation was necessary. I realize this is unconventional, but I was investigating having a server-side CUPS print filter to print .doc files from the command-line, e.g. 'lpr filename.doc'. In the CUPS print filter chain there is no X and no display. Other GNOME and GNOME-ish programs behave fine without DISPLAY: env DISPLAY= gnome-terminal --help env DISPLAY= firefox --help env DISPLAY= nautilus --help The information you requested: $ lsb_release -rd Description:Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS Release:8.04 $ apt-cache policy abiword-gnome abiword-gnome: Installed: 2.4.6-3ubuntu3 Candidate: 2.4.6-3ubuntu3 Version table: *** 2.4.6-3ubuntu3 0 500 http://our.apt.mirror hardy/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Ryan -- abiword --help tells me to use abiword --help https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/400024 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
