I did a fresh installation of openSUSE 11.1 i586. Everything worked fine.
Then I used YaST2 Software Management to add a package. Worked fine.
Then I did the Online Update to get the Installation up to date. Worked fine so far.
I had to restart the Machine because of the Kernel Bugfix Update.
Since then, the YaST2 Software Management is not working any more. When I do start it, it starts the software manager, shows the “Search Phrase” and so on but when I enter a word and press “RETURN” the software manager immediately closes and takes me back to the YaST2 start screen. No messages, no warnings, nothing.
With zypper I´m able to install software but no longer within YaST2.
You should switch repo 6 (updates) to yes | yes for enable and refresh
**[edit] **I see you have another update repo
choose one to use and change it’s priority, in 11.1 it should be set to 20
Can you get to Yast software repos to change that?
caf4926, thanks for your fast responses, that is so helpful and kindful :).
i did that:
# zypper lr -d
# | Alias | Name | Enabled | Refresh | Priority | Type | URI | Service
--+---------+---------------------------+---------+---------+----------+--------+--------------------------------------------------------------+--------
1 | repo_10 | Main Repository (OSS) | Yes | Yes | 99 | yast2 | http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1/repo/oss/ |
2 | repo_2 | Main Update Repository | Yes | Yes | 20 | rpm-md | http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.1/ |
3 | repo_9 | Main Repository (NON-OSS) | Yes | Yes | 99 | yast2 | http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1/repo/non-oss/ |

OK, i think i am gonna install a fresh suse 11.2 and see what will happen.
Old thread but good info. I ran into this problem on SLES11 after compiling and installing zlib 1.2.5. Apparently Yast Software Management uses zlib library. After some googling, I found a way to change the search order. Here’s mine:
vim /etc/ld.so.conf
/usr/X11R6/lib64/Xaw3d
/usr/X11R6/lib64
/usr/lib64/Xaw3d
/usr/X11R6/lib/Xaw3d
/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/lib/Xaw3d
/usr/x86_64-suse-linux/lib
/opt/kde3/lib
/lib64
/lib
/usr/lib64
/usr/lib
/opt/kde3/lib64
/usr/local/lib
/usr/local/lib64
include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
Notice I’ve move the /usr/local/* directories to the bottom of the search order. Yast works again for now until I find a more permanent solution (no yast2-ncurses-pkg update as of the time of this post). For my new software that needs the new zlib for compilation, I think I may be able to do a ’ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib" ’ to work around that (haven’t tested it yet but I think that’ll work).

Just in case, seeing that it is your first post:
this forum is not for SLES, but for openSUSE. Similar products but not the
same. There are separate forum for SLES, using the same login/pass as here.

You have the Factory repo added to your system (this is where the next openSUSE version is developed), so the update installed things from there.
You now have a mixture between openSUSE 13.1 and Factory (13.2), which cannot work.
Remove the repo and switch all packages to the standard versions again, and YaST (and everything else) shoudl work:
sudo zypper rr 4
sudo zypper dup
And btw, why are you posting your repo list in a years old thread without even stating what problem you have?
sorry for the above and thanks for your support but still yast is not working below is the output for the second command please help me to solve the issue.
Warning: You are about to do a distribution upgrade with all enabled repositories. Make sure these repositories are compatible before you continue. See ‘man zypper’ for more information about this command.
