Install Remove Programs (Yast) crashes

English Install/Boot/Login
1

Dear all,
sometimes (yes not alway) when I select a program to be uninstalled through yast (after I unclick an installed program) the Yast will terminate(crash)
The error message it returns is of the form

>YaST got signal 11 at YCP file PackagesUI.ycp:280
/sbin/yast2: Zeile 427: 31556 Speicherzugriffsfehler  $ybindir/y2base $module "$@" "$SELECTED_GUI" $Y2_GEOMETRY $Y2UI_ARGS
QGtkStyle was unable to detect the current GTK+ theme.
Qt: Session management error: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed

I am running opensuse 12.2 installed from the downloaded iso .

Regards
Alex

Usually it means that you have upgraded part of the system from
different repos, and the result is not compatible. Like upgrading kde.

One thing I would try is to go into YaST / Software / Software Management / Select Repository View on Top Left and select the openSUSE-12.2-Update on the left and then select “Switch System Packages” on the top of the package window and press Accept on the bottom right. Once complete, I would exit YaST and restart my PC and then see what you get.

Thank You,

Thanks I did and quite many packages are installed now…
My current repositories look like

Ja==Yes…

Do you see mistakes?
Final question how I can do updates from zypper command line?

Regards
Alex

To update files from the command line I would think this would do it though but I also want you to select Allow Vendor Change:

su -
zypper refresh
zypper update

I have not looked this up for the command line, but this needs to be done once and allows files from Packman to replace those from the default openSUSE repositories:

Go to YaST (Enter Root Password) / Software / **Software Management **and select Options and check Allow Vendor Change.

Thank You,

The message complains about Qt-GTK. Try setting WANTED_SHELL and WANTED_GUI in Yast - System - Sysconfig editor both to “qt”. Check whether there’s a /root/.config/Trolltech.conf, if so, remove it, run

kdesu qtconfig

and change the theme from Desktop … to Oxygen. Save and exit. Now restart Yast and let us know if things have improved.
