Description Adam Williamson 2022-09-04 17:21:54 UTC 
The attempted fix for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2118832 - running yelp as liveinst - seems to have fixed Workstation, but not KDE.

Now on KDE live images, when you click Help! , yelp does not seem to run at all. Rather than a mostly-blank window as we saw with 2118832, you don't really see anything at all.

The journal shows anaconda attempting to launch yelp, and a `[yelp] <defunct>` entry shows up in the ps output, but that seems to be about all:

Sep 04 13:20:15 localhost-live anaconda[2631]: anaconda: ui.lib.help: Requested a graphical help for the 'language-pre-configuration' screen.
Sep 04 13:20:15 localhost-live anaconda[2631]: program: Running... yelp /usr/share/anaconda/help/fedora/en-US/WelcomeSpoke.xml

Comment 1 Adam Williamson 2022-09-04 17:22:25 UTC 
Proposing as a Final blocker and Beta FE, Final criterion "Any element in the installer interface(s) which is clearly intended to display 'help' text must do so correctly when activated."
Comment 2 Vladimír Slávik 2022-09-05 10:50:53 UTC 
Adding XDG_RUNTIME_DIR seems to fix KDE, but I'll have to check it on the other targets as well.

(Somehow, I have a feeling this bug will just keep giving...)
Comment 3 Vladimír Slávik 2022-09-05 13:59:21 UTC

Comment 4 Adam Williamson 2022-09-05 15:48:25 UTC 
Only Workstation, KDE and the installer environment are release blocking, so if those three work, we at least don't have blockers to worry about...
Comment 5 Vladimír Slávik 2022-09-06 08:55:05 UTC 
Oh, yes, I tested only the three.
Comment 6 Vladimír Slávik 2022-09-06 17:07:40 UTC 
So, we merged this and are all set to release, except it turns out this is not accepted as a BetaFE...
Comment 7 Adam Williamson 2022-09-06 17:16:52 UTC 
it is, we just haven't updated the results of the meeting yet. here:

#agreed 2124097 - AcceptedFreezeException (Beta) AcceptedBlocker (Final) - this is accepted as a Final blocker as a violation of Final criterion "Any element in the installer interface(s) which is clearly intended to display 'help' text must do so correctly when activated", and as a Beta FE as a highly-visible issue that can't be fixed with an update

Comment 10 Geraldo Simião 2022-09-07 15:09:31 UTC 
Its fixed on Fedora-KDE-Live-x86_64-37_Beta-1.5.iso
Only drawback is help only in english,even if I choose other language at anaconda first screen, but is the case since older fedora versions.
