Description Paasha 2013-01-14 19:37:13 UTC
I tried updating Kile and even downloading the help file / handbook from Synaptic (in Ubuntu Precise) but that did not solve the problem. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click help
2. Click Kile Handbook
3. 
Actual Results:  
Error message:

Could not launch the KDE Help Center: Could not find service 'khelpcenter'.

Expected Results:  
Should have opened the handbook or the help center

Could you please report this problem in the Ubuntu bug tracker first? This looks like an Ubuntu-specific problem to me. Thanks.
Comment 2 Paasha 2013-01-14 21:10:33 UTC
OK will do. Thanks for your comment!

This is not Ubuntu specific.  I installed Marble from the Mageia 6 Control Center.  Then the Kwallet warning came up on passwords, but Marble activated anyway. Checked No and started using it. Clicking on the Help > Marble Virtual Globe Handbook got me the same error. Maybe not installed at all.  Check MCC.  Bingo.  So, install it.  And got this;

1 installation transactions failed

There was a problem during the installation:

This was indeed Ubuntu specific, and it referred anyway to an old version of khelpcenter (Qt4 based, now it's Qt 5).

The log that you show is also about a problem with the repositories of your distribution.
