Neither starts Software Management. This has begun since Opera uninstallation. The version of GNOME is 2.32.1.

You have uninstalled extra things you should not.

Try running, from a root terminal (su -):


yast2 --qt sw_single &

If that doesn’t work, use the text mode yast:


yast2

Check if it wants to automatically install something first, and do so. Then
go to “dependencies/check now”. Activate options “verify now”. Then try to
install all of yast, see what is not installed, and same for gnome.

You have to install things, not uninstall… probably reinstall the gnome
pattern.

Well, I reinstalled the system. Concerning my slow internet connection it’s not a bad solution.
Thanks for trying to help me.
