YaST & 'install software' does not open in GUI

Hi,

I have a strange problem. From time to time, I cannot open YaST nor ‘install software’ in the GUI. A new window is appears in the panel, but after 10 seconds or so it disappears. When in terminal, i can open YaST.

This happens from time to time and often after a while I can open it again in GUI (also when rebooting). Does someone knows how to solve this? It’s very annoying when I want to install something and I cannot open Yast2 (I’m not familiar with terminal, so that’s why i want to stay with GUI, which is KDE btw).

thanx

When you start Yast from the terminal, what output is there?

What version of openSUSE?
