You reported the error message "The requested help file could not be parsed" I have docbook-xsl 1.75.2+dfsg-5 (Kubuntu 10.10), which version of docbook-xsl does your system have?
Lueck: You're being a bit too literal. All the Control Center Modulest couldn't resolve their help files. It's not just this one. Clearly the help files are there. The error message in the screenshot has a filename prefaced with <br/>. I suspect this is why it can't resolve. Someone left an html tag open or some such thing.

@Jim: Please confirm/answer the following questions to help tackling down this issue: * You get this error with help files for systemsettings modules, KIoslaves, Online Help (docbook articles)? * You can view the handbooks for applications, like e.g. Kate, Kwrite, Dolphin, Konqueror (docbook books), but the "Next" and "Previous" buttons at the top/bottom of the pages are missing? * You have a docbook-xsl package version !=1.75.x, maybe version 1.76? Thanks.
I didn't have docbook-xsl installed. Nothing required it. docbook-xsl 1.75 is now installed and things work. It's a little slow on the rendering but something eventually comes up for all the terminal branches of the help tree. Unless you want to check something else, this was probably an opensuse issue. I installed base x64_64 11.4 and then upgraded to KDE 4.6.3 using repositories set up for that purpose. This is a new system, and, I haven't been removing packages, so, it probably never got installed.

(In reply to comment #6) > I didn't have docbook-xsl installed. Nothing required it. docbook-xsl is a runtime requirement for the kde help systems since kde removed the internal copy of docbook-xsl in kde >4.5. Please report downstream. > docbook-xsl 1.75 is now installed and things work.
