Morning all,
I’m using the pre-release openSUSE 13.2 and have noticed something strange.
In YaST the Services Manager is duplicated in the list.
Both entries work as expected.
It’s obviously not a major problem, I was just wondering if anyone else was seeing the same?

Yes, everybody should see the same…

It will even be mentioned in the release notes:
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=903243
This has been fixed a few days ago. A bit too late for 13.2 though, but the fix will be released as online update.
How to eliminate the duplicate Service Manager entry in Yast?
As I wrote in the bug report, removing /usr/share/applications/YaST2/runlevel.desktop helps. That’s the one that shouldn’t be shown at all, as it has the option “Hidden=true”.
But I don’t see this as a big issue. Personally I don’t bother at all.
Anyway, I don’t understand why the update still hasn’t been released for 13.2. It has been fixed in October/November already… :\
I had zypper duped 13.1 to 13.2 and since then I have two Services Manager entries in YaST. I knew there must be a solution so Google brought me here. Is it OK to rename /usr/share/applications/YaST2/runlevel.desktop to /usr/share/applications/YaST2/_runlevel._desktop.back or to simply delete it? Should I just wait for official patch through YOU?
Simply delete it.
Should I just wait for official patch through YOU?
Yes, you can. An update is running at the moment and should be released in the next days.
Personally, I just ignore that “problem”. It’s not critical at all anyway IMHO.
