Hi,
When I click on the Yast startup Icon today. I now get these messages:
This will run:
/usr/bin/xdg-su -c /sbin/yast2
If you do not trust this program, click Cancel
So I click on Continue…
Then I get this message:
Unable to make the service YaST executable, aborting execution
A wayward upgrade perhaps?
Regards, Martin
Hi
If you open a terminal and switch to root user (su - NOT su) and run yast2 from the command line, how goes it? Also try zypper ref -f, zypper up and zypper up -t patch maybe an out of sync mirror when you updated?
Have any non-standard Repos??
zypper lr -d
Yes, that will open YaST with no problems. Also, if I run as a User it works as expected.
So works from a command prompt…
Also try zypper ref -f, zypper up and zypper up -t patch maybe an out of sync mirror when you updated?
They run without any errors. However, it does not clear the reported messages if I try and run from the Application Launcher.
Yep…

Bit more digging shows me that it is “User” based. It works for other users?
In addition to YaST not running from the Launcher, I am unable to change the launcher style.
I used to be able to Right-Click on the Gecko/Chameleon? and chose one of the alternatives - Not now?
Secondly, Right-Clicking in the Poped-Up Launcher panel would give me the option to edit the menu - Not now?
What is the name of the KDE Plasma Launcher? Where are the config files for the Launcher?
Regards, Martin
Before attempting to edit the Plasma “program starter” – usually the “Application Launcher” – the Desktop Widgets have to be unlocked.
These terms are explained here: <https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/kde-workspace/plasma-desktop/using-kapp.html>.
[HR][/HR]What happens if you simply execute “/usr/bin/xdg-su -c /sbin/yast2” from a “normal” user’s Konsole Terminal Window?
[HR][/HR]When you’re editing the Application Launcher’s “System Administration” menu item are the following items true:
Optionally with the user “root” entered into the “username” field.
