This bug is here since 2005, could we put it in higher priority please? Not having a working KDE help system for the basic user in Kubuntu is really not acceptable.

[Bug 19767] Re: Kde help search fails too quietly if htdig is not installed
A higher priority does not change the fact that Kubuntu does not have the resources, nor does any team member have interest to rewrite KHelpCenter. Same applies for KDE. Just adding htdig is not the solutions as it was probably stated in some comment above that it is horrible junk, dragging in more horrible junk, not working reliably once it junked it's way through all the docbooks, in case it even manages to do that without falling apart, and even if all that weren't the case it still would not resolve all the other shortcomings, bottlenecks and usability issues that make it the second most awful application in core KDE (kuser being the most awful one). From my point of view Medium is too high already, since there are much more awkward issues and since this issues is only part of the bigger one that KHC is unmaintained for the better part.

I find Harald's response troubling and totally agree with Myriam. I don't use the help system much any more, but new users and what she describes as basic users, need a working help system. With all of the horrible junk already a part of the default kubuntu install, a working help system seems worth it. -- Kde help search fails too quietly if htdig is not installed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/19767 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
[Bug 19767] Re: Kde help search fails too quietly if htdig is not installed
I see the problem is that htdig is not supported and maintained, yet to properly work, khelpcenter should depend on it. I don't think Kubuntu should depend on something unmaintained, but I think it is detrimental to Ubuntu to expose a feature that is non-functionnal. I think the middle ground would be completely disabling the search feature if it cannot work, saying htdig should be installed. People would at least know this is not working, why it doesn't work, and how to make it work if they want to. -- Kde help search fails too quietly if htdig is not installed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/19767 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 19767] Re: Kde help search fails too quietly if htdig is not installed
Harald, I value your comments and blog, but this bug is about KDE help search failing because of htdig. In my experience as a n00b with Jaunty, installing htdig didn't drag in more horrible junk, it simply made KHC search work -- badly, but FAR better than total failure. I humbly submit that the one-line packaging change to add htdig as a dependency (as Debian Lenny has done) will fix this bug in Jaunty and Karmic. KHC needs a rewrite is a different bug. I couldn't find it in Launchpad or at bugs.kde.org, the closest I could find is Add Builtin Help Center Search Facility Indexer, https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93664 . And some interesting posts about using strigi or QtHelp or whatever. Francois-Denis, FWIW on MS-Windows, KHelpCenter has no Search tab but I can't figure out how it's disabled. If it were easy to configure then I agree Kubuntu could disable the search tab and add more instructions to enabling search. Where's a good place to document this problem and the workaround ? I couldn't find Kubuntu 9.04 release notes anywhere, and perhaps http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/904 is too general for KDE Help Center. ** Bug watch added: KDE Bug Tracking System #93664 http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93664 -- Kde help search fails too quietly if htdig is not installed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/19767 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 19767] Re: Kde help search fails too quietly if htdig is not installed
If someone decides the resolution of this bug is really to disable the
Search tab rather than make htdig a dependency...
From
http://lxr.kde.org/source/KDE/kdebase/runtime/khelpcenter/searchengine.cpp#217
, if you don't have anything useful in
${DATA_INSTALL_DIR}/khelpcenter/searchhandlers , then KHelpCenter calls
hideSearch(). This directory isn't installed on Windows, hence there's
no Search tab in KDE-Windows. I think renaming it or its contents to
searchhandlers_DISABLED would do the trick in Kubuntu.

[Bug 19767] Re: Kde help search fails too quietly if htdig is not installed
The completely broken Help Search continues with KHelpCenter 4.2.2 (KDE 4.2.3) in Kubuntu 9.04 Jaunty (amd64). htdig is STILL not a dependency of KDE packages or khelpcenter4. KPackageKit lists a htdig - 1:3.2.0b6-8; its Required by is empty, as is its File List (??!). I installed this htdig package, and then KHelpCenter's [Build Search Index...] built me a new index, ending with ht://dig ... Finished successfully and it seemingly worked. There were no problems with bash or perl files as other comments here report with Hardy. Please just add htdig as a dependency to khelpcenter4, as has been done in Debian lenny!

Cyril BUQUET, Unfortunately the failure you're having is another example of dash breaking something. I did what you suggested 1) sudo apt-get install htdig 2) sudo vi /usr/bin/khc_docbookdig.pl change : my $findpath = $kdekdehtmldir/$lang/; with : my $findpath = $kdehtmldir/$lang/; (line 94) But then had to change the sym link for /bin/sh from dash to bash. 3) sudo mv /bin/sh /bin/sh.old 4) sudo ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh And then when I re-ran the index build it worked. Probably would be better to change the script that the help indexer uses to explicitly call /bin/bash instead of /bin/sh though. -- Kde help search fails too quietly if htdig is not installed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/19767 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The KDE helpcenter (KDE version 3.5.8) still has no working search facility after the release of Gutsy Gibbon.Apparently, the reason is the missing htdig search system that is not installed as it is not maintained anymore.

I think this bug should have a much higher priority. Imagine you know little about Linux, or even about any kind of operating system.

[Bug 19767] Re: Kde help search fails too quietly if htdig is not installed
Same experience as Ryan. It claims to have completed successfully, but if you view the details, there's the error. ** Changed in: kdebase (Ubuntu) Status: Needs Info = Confirmed -- Kde help search fails too quietly if htdig is not installed https://launchpad.net/bugs/19767 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
[Bug 19767] Re: Kde help search fails too quietly if htdig is not installed
Actually it fails with or without htdig. Looks like a typo on line 94 of /usr/bin/khc_docbookdig.pl - $kdekdehtmldir should be $kdehtmldir. -- Kde help search fails too quietly if htdig is not installed https://launchpad.net/bugs/19767 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 19767] Re: Kde help search fails too quietly if htdig is not installed
Problem originates in debian/patches/25_khelp_htdig.diff in kdebase. That doesn't solve this bug, but htdig will fail no matter what until it's fixed. -- Kde help search fails too quietly if htdig is not installed https://launchpad.net/bugs/19767 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

[Bug 19767] Re: Kde help search fails too quietly if htdig is not installed
I'm testing this in edgy. I'm either testing it wrong, or it's been fixed. Can someone else confirm this bug on edgy, with kde 3.5.4? ** Changed in: kdebase (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Needs Info -- Kde help search fails too quietly if htdig is not installed https://launchpad.net/bugs/19767 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

I can verify this bug in Kubuntu Dapper. INDEXDIR: /home/nathano/.kde/share/apps/khelpcenter/index/ FINDCMD: find /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/en/ -name index.docbook Creating index for 'kde_application_manuals' htdig failed Installing htdig through apt, I'm informed that the htdig package has been split in to the stable and unstable packages. The stable package is installed by default. It seems the stable version should be moved to the main repositories so that it can be a KDE dependency and the unstable should be left in Universe. -- Kde help search fails too quietly if htdig is not installed https://launchpad.net/bugs/19767 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
