Starting Lisa with the Yast runlevel editor crashes Yast

Dunno if this is the appropriate place to ask this questions, if not
please direct me....

I am running SuSE 10.0. When I attempt to start the Lisa daemon via the
Yast runlevel editor, Yast crashes/hangs up. Anyone else experiencing
this problem? Should I report it as a bug or try to troubleshoot it
further and see if something else is wrong with my system? If so, any
suggestions on what to do?

One note, when I try to start Lisa I get a popup saying that Lisa is
started, but this popup does not go away.

his has been a problem for a long time with SuSE, I hardly never use the
lisa daemon, just tried it here on a relatively new install of 10 and
yes it still does bomb Yast when starting, I have a workround though:

Go through the motions of adding it to the runlevels you want and then
press start, you will get the confirmation of starting the boot.clock
and as you notice it just hangs, press Ctrl+Alt+<esc> and place the
skull and crossbones cursor on the little box and left click to kill
Yast, then restart the runlevel editor to make sure that it is
signalled as running ( you may have to re-add the levels again, do not
press the start button but just finish the runlevel editor and the
levels should stick that time, you can check afterwards if it is
running by pressing Ctrl+<esc> to bring up ksysguard and see if the
daemon is running.

Whoops, should read "This" not "his"

Yes, do not use Yast to start lisa, this has been a problem since at least
9.0 that I know of.

Use the command line as su:

rclisa start
