Hmmm ... this is strange. In yelp (the GNOME help browser) under "Help Contents" all the entries for "GNOME - Desktop" have vanished. See screenshot: http://www.brierton.plus.com/yelp.png Yesterday they were fine. Since yesterday all I have done is reboot (I needed to boot into Windows briefly) and install the GPG up2date. I haven't tried restarting GNOME as I'm in the middle of doing something. Does anyone know what could cause this? If I start yelp from a terminal this is what I get: $ yelp warning: failed to load external entity "" warning: failed to load external entity "" warning: failed to load external entity "" warning: failed to load external entity "" warning: failed to load external entity "" Any suggestions?
