Installation into directory

I’m running 11.1 and I’m setting up some diskless nodes that will be grabbing the image from this server. When I try to run the Yast “installation into Directory” I get the follwing error message:

YaST got signal 11 at YCP file ProductControl.ycp:812
/sbin/yast2: line 437:  6375 Segmentation fault      $ybindir/y2base $module "$@" "$SELECTED_GUI" $Y2_GEOMETRY $Y2UI_ARGS

anyone know what the problem is?

Anything else I should try?

Are you saying your issue remains. Try rebooting. Report back

Even after reboot I still get the same error message.

su terminal

rpmdb --rebuilddb

takes a while so wait…

Seems to go fairly quickly, meaning that it comes back to a prompt right away (30 seconds or so). I still have the error message, although I haven’t rebooted yet so that’s my next step. I’ll post back with the result.

I believe it’s the same error message, I’m just going to post it again in case something is slightly different that I’m not noticing:

YaST got signal 11 at YCP file ProductControl.ycp:812
/sbin/yast2: line 437:  5072 Segmentation fault      $ybindir/y2base $module "$@" "$SELECTED_GUI" $Y2_GEOMETRY $Y2UI_ARGS

btw, thanks for helping:)

I have seen this quite a bit, if you search:
Segmentation
you’ll see what I mean

Just check:
