When trying to run Yast from the Application Launcher i get the following error message.
Su returned with an error.
I can sudo yast in the terminal window and it works fine. Created another user and had the same issue running Yast from the launcher.

Done. :shame:
NNTP users. Thread will be closed now, moved after 10 minutes to Pre-release / Beta
Moved and reopened for posting.
Well, “su” and “sudo” are two completely different things. When you try to run Yast from the launcher “kdesu” is used, which in turn uses “su”.
What happens if you try to run “su” in a terminal window?
Is this a fresh installation or an update from an earlier milestone?
su was moved from coreutils to util-linux. If you updated but skipped a milestone, this migration possibly wasn’t done correctly.
See this bugreport, maybe you find help there:

It should work fine on a fresh beta1 install though (and it does here).
That’s it! The system was updated from Milestone 4 to Beta.
Thanks for the info.
