If kchmviewer is not installed, Virtualbox-Bin does not show any help (there is no reaction when you click on Help -> Content, same with help buttons). It seems that the VirtualBox online help depends on kchmviewer. This should be added to the virtualbox-bin ebuild as dependency.
Hmmm... just installed kchmviewer, but this did not solve the problem. What makes the Help -> Contents work?
Here is some more information. This is from the ebuild: rm -rf src sdk tst* rdesktop-vrdp.tar.gz deffiles install.sh routines.sh \ runlevel.sh vboxdrv.sh VBox.sh VBox.png kchmviewer additions VirtualBox.desktop \ VirtualBox.chm VirtualBox.tar.bz2 vboxnet.sh LICENSE VirtualBoxAPI.chm Looks like the help-files (*.chm) are not installed. Same for the kchmviewer, so no help is available. My workaround: Manually copy the *.chm files from the Download-Package into /opt/VirtualBox and create a symlink in /opt/Virtualbox to /usr/bin/kchmviewer (kchmviewer must be installed by emerge kchmviewer).
hi, thanks for your report, just added a new use flag for this (chm), when enabled both the chm files and kchmviever are installed. You can grab the ebuild on jokey's overlay[1] [1] https://overlays.gentoo.org/dev/jokey/browser/trunk/app-emulation
The ebuild from the overlay works fine here with the new version 1.5.4 and kernel 2.6.24-rc6 (AMD64). Thanks!
As new version is in CVS now, marking this LATER as it will be fixed once the module goes stable
