YaST itself works just fine with the Administrator Setting thing, but if I try to do the Software Management, do anything with the Repositories, or do a System update, I get a stupid error message. The one for Software Management says:
terminate called after throwing an instance of ‘YUIPluginException’
what(): Couldn’t load plug-in qt

Does anyone know how to get this working again, I kind of like my updates to work, and for my Packages to be installable, since I pretty much stand little-to-no chance installing by command line and stuff.
Just about everything in the Administrator Settings isn’t working basically at this point, almost everything gives me an error message. I think the only one I actually have checked that worked was the Monitor and Graphics Card thing so far, I tried to use that repair thing on the DVD and nothing of that actually worked.
If anyone knows what’s going on and/or how to fix it, please do tell me. I’d really like to not have to try to record every setting I have and reinstall, especially since I honestly don’t even know exactly which packages let some of my programs work with things…

Puzzled Penguin doesn’t quite describe it enough, at this point you could also throw on baffled, confused, befuddled, and all sorts of other words describing my complete inability to figure out what’s going on here…
Um, anyone have a solution to this? It’d be really nice to actually get all my updates again and get to go install things, and I’d really like to avoid having to reinstall again because I’ve got like a billion settings that I’ve made on accident since I installed, so yeah…
I don’t have the answer, just some advice based upon past experience, particularly with the infamous SUSE 10.1 …
If downloading software updates goes wrong, just wait 24-48 hours and try again. Resist the temptation to fix things immediately. Eventually, someone will have alerted the problem, someone will have fixed it, and the mirrors will have the working version.
Get Smart! (Smart Package Manager) If YaST or Smart subsequently breaks, you’ve got two GUI tools to try, which can give insights into the problem. If one barfs, it’s the application, if both barf, it’s probably the repository.
If you’re feeling brave, try and get Smart working in the meantime. If you succeed, it’s going to be easier to use Smart to reinstall YaST. You can get the tarball or RPMs here so you don’t need a package manager to install it.
Ooh. Have you tried YaST from the Linux console command line? It’s a bit like DOS circa 1985, but you can get stuff done. Don’t be scared, it’s a sort-of-gui from the Stone Age, but it’s easy to navigate once you get the hang of the alt+<letter> highlight commands.
I’m suggesting this because your error message complains about QT and X11.
sudo zypper ref will refresh the repositories
sudo zypper lu will list updates
sudo zypper up will apply the updates
sudo zypper se yast2 will show you all the yast packages the “i” in the
first column shows it’s installed.
sudo zypper in <name_of_package> will install it
sudo zypper in -t pattern <name_of_pattern> will install all files
associated with the pattern.
And many more, see the man pages.
As a side note have you tried yast (not yast2) from the cli?

Actually it’s been several days that it was having trouble with the updates…
Do I want to know what Smart is and how to get it? I mean it sounds like a way to manage my Packages here, but that doesn’t fix the rest of my administrator stuff, does it? And the RPMs try to use the Package Manager thing, don’t they?
Also, if you can find a way for me to use a command line to install, I don’t mind that, I simply don’t know how at the moment…
(I’ll post again after trying what the other fellow said)

repo_products: syntax error at line 1:0
So yeah, I don’t quite think that’s going to work…
Really, all of the YaST stuff is going crazy. None of my YaST Administrator Setting things work (well, a couple small exceptions, but really, most nearly all of them don’t work)
Looking at a few of those other lines and their responses, they basically all don’t work…
Unfortunately that getting started thing didn’t work…
By the way, it seems like you’re referring to Cleanup Tools I don’t know the location of…
By the way, is there some way to like save a bunch of settings and then reinstall and then load the settings or something? It almost seems at this point with so few solutions to this like that might almost be simpler to do…
I’ll look into that Auto-YaST thing (posting while at school, it’ll be a while before I get back on how that worked) but I’m pretty sure it’s not a problem with the DVD, you’d think then that it would’ve never worked and it’s worked since early-mid July and just started having this problem a couple days before I posted.
