Hi
When trying to use yast softwaremgt/update I get this error (and it stops/crashes) :
YaST got signal 11 at YCP file PackagesUI.ycp:280
/sbin/yast2: line 427: 3724 Segmentation fault $ybindir/y2base $module “$@” “$SELECTED_GUI” $Y2_GEOMETRY $Y2UI_ARGS
How do I get it working again ?
Try something:
Open a terminal and do
su -
yast2
also result of
zypper ve
zypper ve
Loading repository data…
Reading installed packages…
Dependencies of all installed packages are satisfied.
su - yast2…
just start yast2 as normal - no problems
… but software management crashes when I do anything…
I can’t search/install anything or even update installed packages.
If it helps whatch this Wed May 2 13:14:59 2012.avi - yast2 software management error. - YouTube
Tried root console mode and software management just returned me to yast, without any error-message at all.
Why not using CODE tags as caf4926 does? http://forums.opensuse.org/english/information-new-users/advanced-how-faq-read-only/451526-posting-code-tags-guide.html
Sorry… not just used to doing so… (and editor wasn’t in advanced mode)
-but here it is then:
zypper ve
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
No need to apologize. It is a hidden feature, but important to our type of posts (that is the ICT world). Thus I advertise for it wherever I see an opportunity. (See it as another try to save the world rotfl!).

Please Carlos, this answer will be magician’s talk to many people. At least explain how to start those different versions to the OP. I guess he and the majority of the normal openSUSE users here only know how to click on a YaST icon in the menu to start it and I have no doubt you realise this. You realy must come down a few steps from your ivory tower and help people instead of leaving them alone in the desert of distress.

They can surely ask, and then I’ll explain. No need to explain something in
advance without knowing whether they need that detailed information or not. 
Sigh… ok.
You can simply access them by starting KDE and then yast (click all the
way), then start GNOME and then yast (click all the way), then text mode
and call yast.
Or:
su -
yast --qt
or
yast --gtk
or
yast
And of course, “yast --help” will give you help, as most programs.

I do not know who are the “they” you mean. Or do you mean that at the end of the year someone stumbling into this thread is encouraged by you to ask then when he does not understand? And then you will still answer him/her? We try to have threads here that cover a problem with it’s solution understandable for most members here. Not only for the OP of such a thread and not just for this very moment, but also for the near future (though I admit that after one o two years most advices will be out of date.).
Yes, the all do/did …
(Wed May 2 17:04:09 2012.avi yast --qt --gtk and --ncurses - YouTube)
-but maybe the --gtk can give someone a clue…
yast --gtk

Did you forget the dash in su, or did you use sudo perhaps? In the video it
seems you use plain “su” - against my instructions.
After the “su -” run “yast2 --gtk sw_single &”

no… more like … just didn’t pay attention to it … won’t happen again

Post the command complete with results here. The dbus error is typical of
using “su”, so you can not be getting the exact same result. Launch it
inside an xterm terminal. Like this:
cer@Telcontar:~> su -
Password:
Telcontar:~ # yast2 --qt sw_single &
[1] 2412
Telcontar:~ #
[1]+ Exit 16 yast2 --qt sw_single
Telcontar:~ #
And then, if it fails, look at the y2log in “/var/log/YaST2/”.

With that mix of repos you have, it is very possible that you have
incompatible libraries installed. Like kde/qt from factory and yast from an
older version.

what i’d do in this case (even though i can’t imagine how i’d ever end up
with such a repo mixture…):
straighten out the repos; disable everything but OSS, non-OSS, update
and do a plain “zypper dup”;
add back the repos you really need, like packman, and switch over
packages manually via YAST (versions tab, choose those codecs, etc., from
packman);
choose which version of KDE you want to run (release:/48, per example),
enable that repo, and do "zypper dup --from <KDE repo>;
and if that didn’t work, reinstall.

I’m utterly amazed every time I see situations like this, that the Linux OS copes as well as it does. Imagine trying this with a mix of Windoze OS versions!
