Hi Guys,
After running the online update on 2 machines yesterday I can’t run it anymore. I get the following error message:
yast got signal 11 at YCP file /usr/share/YaST2/clients/online_update_select.ycp:83
/sbin/yast2: line 421: 4815 Segmentation fault $ybindir/y2base $module “$@” “SELECTED_GUI” $Y2_GEOMETRY $Y2UI_ARGS
I googled this error and I found a solution for release 10.3 however I didn’t fix this issue for release 11.0.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

I ran that on my system but I still get the error message. what else can I do?

Try running yast2 from the CLI. To do that reboot in failsafe and login with your username and password, the go su and enter root password.
then type
yast2
or is it just yast ??
If you can launch software management, search for yast
and re-install all the yast packages
empty your /tmp folder too
when I run yast2, the GUI yast opens and then I go to online update and I get the same error message but if i typed yast on the termal it opens the text based yast (blue screen) and that one works just fine.
what do you think the problem is?
use the text based yast to re-install/update all yast packages
Try Novell Bugzilla #464214 I think it looks like the same issue a fairly large number of users have been troubled by. There are also a few more on SuSE forums with almost identical segfaults in yast2 now.
