Hi Everyone.
I have recently upgraded from Leap 15.3 to Leap 15.4.
The graphical interface of Yast no longer seems to work.
That is, it asks for the password when clicked upon. I enter the password, but the interface does not load as expected. Any ideas?
Thanks You!
@KittyKatty Hi, have you seen this thread related to the same type of issue? No yast apps starting
Thank you @malcolmlewis !
I checked the thread and tried the ruby package fixes:
zypper in -f ruby2.5-stdlib
And
zypper in --no-recommends -f $(rpm -qa ruby* --qf '%{NAME} ')
And tried changing the kernel version to 5.14.21-150400.24.46.1
However, no luck so far. Any suggestions?
@KittyKatty not sure if the kernel is an issue, suggest you run the latest 5.14.21-150400.24.55.
If you open a teminal and switch to root user su -
and then run yast2
how is that?
Thank you again!
I get Yast2 running in the text mode:
@KittyKatty that’s yast
the ncurses version, did you try the command yast2
Thank you for your continued help!
To be sure, I did ran yast2 (no typo) and still the ncurses version comes up.
I did find though it does give this error first:
$ /usr/sbin/yast2
Qt GUI wanted but not found, falling back to ncurses.
@KittyKatty you need to be root user to run YaST2.
Did you try to read error message?
You need package yast2-control-center-qt
.
Thank you so much!
sudo zypper in yast2-control-center-qt
Solved it for me!
I really appreciate all of your help!
Hello, it happened to me that by having the log files in ram editing the fstab file, the directory /root/var/log/YaST2 is deleted
As a consequence, Yast does not start the modules in graphical mode.
I have created a script: “var_log_YaST2” that is executed at boot so that it creates that directory and Yast finds it and solves the problem
#!/bin/bash
sudo mkdir /var/log/YaST2
Ready !
Maybe it can be of help to someone
Greetings
