What is not correctly configured? Does F1 not work?
At least the help functions. Maybe some other stuff also.

The scripts are mostly for us to create the online help. They are
written for the normal lazarus directory layout. Debian package

Start the IDE in a terminal and press F1. What does it show?
It calls the Ubuntu help functions - nothing to do with Lazarus.
In the terminal:
