Problem with Yast2 and KDE4 openSUSE 11.0

[seadisk]

Hello all!
I was upgrading to KDE 4.2 via one-click install last night and before it was finished I aborted it as it was getting late. Today I attempted to do it again and yast gave this error:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'YUIPluginException'
what(): Couldn't load plug-in qt
YaST got signal 6 at YCP file SlideShow.ycp:76
/sbin/yast2: line 421: 6656 Aborted $ybindir/y2base $module "$@" "$SELECTED_GUI" $Y2_GEOMETRY $Y2UI_ARGS

I then started yast2 with gtk and managed to complete the installation but when I try to log in to KDE 4.2 i get this error: "Couldn't load kdeinit4. Check your installation."
I have tried and googled everything I could think of and can't figure out how to fix it.

Could somebody please help me? Any help is much appreciated!

Are you now in suse?
if you are (I suppose gnome then) reinstall kde4. First delete it through yast (it will be pain in the ass because of all those dependencies) and then install it by one click install from opensuse page KDE/KDE4 - openSUSE

i would also recommend doing update of all packages (Package-> All packages -> Update if newer version is avaible)

it's the best thing to do after everything and is no problem since you're not on dialup

Hi,
I got very similar problem, but I was doing a "normal" update. I read somewhere in the forums to downgrade the packages from KDE Qt repository and, well, it helped
Hope, it'll fix your case

Actually I am on dialup I just went to my brother's house to download it. I also found that sax2 doesn't work either so I tried sax2 --ignoreprofile and I got:

Cannot mix incompatible Qt libraries
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::logic_error'
what(): basic_string::_S_construct NULL not valid

I'm going to try updating anything installed related to qt and see what happens.
Will post back afterwards

Ok guys I updated 3 qt related packages with yast --gtk and yast2 mostly works now! Also KDE 4.2 is now working and sax2 works aswell but complains of missing packages! So i'm sure I can figure it out from here. Many Thanks for the help guys!!http://forums.opensuse.org/images/sm...snew/smile.png

Ok i've got one last problem. Whenever I start yast software management, after the repositories have loaded it closes and gives this error:

YaST got signal 11 at YCP file /usr/share/YaST2/clients/inst_packages.ycp:36
/sbin/yast2: line 421: 3455 Segmentation fault $ybindir/y2base $module "$@" "$SELECTED_GUI" $Y2_GEOMETRY $Y2UI_ARGS

Again I have googled it and couldn't find a solution.
Any help is much appreciated!!

Actually I have seen a number of threads on the internet (after googling), but I'm not sure how useful they would be. The 1-click install can cause problems with the repo configuration, so maybe start by looking at these first.

Open a console (su to root) and do

zypper lr

It may be necessary to delete any recently added (problematic repos) first. You can also launch the ncurses (text mode) version of yast via a console as well if required.

Ok I did that and yast still does:

YaST got signal 11 at YCP file /usr/share/YaST2/clients/inst_packages.ycp:36
/sbin/yast2: line 421: 4076 Segmentation fault $ybindir/y2base $module "$@" "$SELECTED_GUI" $Y2_GEOMETRY $Y2UI_ARGS

Any further ideas? Thanks for replying!!

Ok I pasted this: /usr/share/YaST2/clients/inst_packages.ycp into a terminal and forgot to type vim in first and got this:

YaST got signal 11 at YCP file /usr/share/YaST2/clients/inst_packages.ycp
No such client module got
The search path follows. It does not include the current directory.
/y2update/clients
/root/.yast2/clients
/usr/share/YaST2/clients

I think I'm close to figuring it out!
Any ideas?

I fixed it!!
Here is what I did:
1. Deleted all repositories from yast except the opensuse 11.0 DVD.
2. Deleted all yast packages from system. (Might not have needed to do that but just to be sure...)
3. Rebooted then re-installed all the deleted yast packages then rebooted again.
And thats it, all working again!!
Many thanks everyone!!! Hope this helps others!!
