Can't start User and Group management in Yast2

Hi.
I can’t start my Yast2 Group and User management anymore. Unfortunetaly, I don’t recieve any error messages, and when I tried to start the thing via Terminal I also get no output. Mouse Cursor changes to loading for one or two seconds when I click it, nothing more happens. Checked the Kernel and Systemd logs. Any ideas what I could do?

Thank you :slight_smile:

I just tried it, both via Yast2 GUI and launching via command line.

For me, it took just at 30 seconds for the User and Group Management GUI to show up (so, a bit of a delay), but yea, I see everything as I should.

From the command line, I do see a Warning, but no Error:

#  yast2 users
/usr/lib64/ruby/gems/3.3.0/gems/ruby-augeas-0.5.0/lib/augeas.rb:48: warning: undefining the allocator of T_DATA class Augeas
#  

Did run that command and argument from the command line?

Yepp, terminal has a short flash, but nothing more does happen.

mumbo@localhost:~> sudo /usr/sbin/yast2 users
mumbo@localhost:~>

I see the same issue as @Mumbow on my up to date Tumbleweed machines (openSUSE Tumbleweed 20240223). No error output in terminal…
This is a regression which needs a bugreport.

What about the text-mode version of Yast? Same problem?

#  yast  users
# 

Yes. No error output and user management does not start…

Hi.
Thanks for the feedback @hui ; is here anybody good at bugreports, or shall I try it?

@aggie same result as with yast2.

I will open the bugreport and link it here…

@hui Wonderful, thank you! :slight_smile:

Done. Bug 1220375

/var/log/YaST2/y2log seems to indicate that there is a possible segfault…

The issue seems to be limited to some localizations. That means if you are affected by the issue and need to use the YaST user module, start it with english localization as intermediate solution:

LANG=en_US.utf8 yast2 users
