I installed Gnome on OpenSuSE 11.1 last night, and while the GUI opens,
I cannot open Yast2. It runs according to ps aux, but nothing there.
When I ssh -X into the box, and try to forward X through ssh, yast2 just
opens the menu-based yast. Something screwy going on with the GUI and I
don’t know why.
Never mind, I think I know the root of the issue. I forgot that last
night, during the install, I never was prompted for the 2nd half of the
install (network, hardware, and so on). I bet if I can get that part of
the install to work my other issues will resolve themselves.
