See http://bugs.launchpad.net/yelp/+bug/695260 and but especially this http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=77196 Looks like Mime Type handler for ghelp is not associated with yelp. Thus 'yelp ghelp:viking' works but this shouldn't: xdg-open ghelp:viking Append this (as root user): MimeType=x-scheme-handler/ghelp;x-scheme-handler/help;x-scheme-handler/info;x-scheme-handler/man; to /usr/share/applications/yelp.desktop then update: sudo update-desktop-database -q sudo update-mime-database /usr/share/mime I can reproduce your error when I disable the yelp association with ghelp. Obviously nothing else on the system is handling 'ghelp' requests - so it results in the "the specified location is not supported" PS There was a slight logic flaw in the help_help_cb() I posted.... (It was after a few beers!!) line: if (ans) --> if (!ans) Otherwise it will display a dialog warning even when it works!
