YAST fails to function

**erik100** · 07-Jan-2010, 12:36

Hello,

When openning yast in terminal and going for "software", it fails to open software section (Online update and Software management)?

I find it strange since all other software tabs are working.

It was working a moment ago, and then it just stoped

However it works from desktop opensuse 11.2, it fails just in terminal.

Try rebooting

I have restarted already, still the same problem.

You are starting yast in a terminal How and Why

It should be a su terminal, then

Code:

yast2

Are there errors in the terminal when you try starting software management?

I'm starting yast as "su", after I do yast2, or yast, using in terminal to do remote system update, now updating fails, maybe it's time for a fresh install of opensuse 11.2 or there might be some kind of a bug?
