Hi,
When launching octave I get the following popup

then nothing in the Documentation tab
running Octave 4.4.1 on ubuntu 19.10

Can you please help

Hi,

Can you display the Octave help via

   assistant -collectionFile /usr/share/octave/4.4.1/doc/octave_interpreter.qch

or do you face errors?  There was a similar bug [1] solved for Octave 5.1.0, when the help files are stored at some read-only location and indices cannot be written.

HTH,

Kai
