YaST Start's (But no module's)

Well, the title tells all.

Here’s what I get:
YaST got signal 6 at ycp file wizard.ycp:36
/bin/yast2: line 421: 10916 aborted

$ybindir/y2base $module “$@” “selected_gui” $y2_geometry $y2ui_args

Ugh!!!
whatever it is, nothing works-except the main screen.
One-Click install does not work!

All help appreciated!!

Try this in a terminal as su

zypper in -f yast2*

then try yast again

if it doesn’t work come back

caf4926, I think you scared him out of here :wink:

Ok very funny!!:wink: (not).

I dont scare that easy!!

Anyway, I did that and it did not work:.

Same as before

Guess I should mention that I am using opesSUSE 11.0


Tech dict:

End user;

An absolute dumbbell!lol!

If you did the zypper above

now try in a terminal as su

zypper rpm --rebuilddb

try again

Tried that- It’s a no go:’(
Here’s what I get:
Unknown command ‘rpm’
Type ‘zypper help’ to get a list of global options and commands.
I played around on it- still no good.

???

try this

sudo rpmdb --rebuilddb

Ok,

This time the command worked- but no output (?)

Yast mod’s Still do not work:(

Go figure

In a terminal as su

zypper up -t package

Ok,
I suppose now would be a good time to say that I use
Dial-up- 1.5 - 2.0 kb/s download 1.5 kb/s upload.

so a large remote system update is not really feasible :frowning:
According to zypper the download was about 105 Mb(?)

so it may not work:’(

But tonight I’ll give it a shot and let you know how it goes

(btw part of the reason that it may not work is because with YaST
the connection keeps breaking Hmmm:\ )

That sucks

why not install smart

zypper in smart

and

zypper in smart-gui

It will do the same job as the yast updater/software manager
and may allow you to repair the broken yast packages

Can’t get smart to work. Dont sweat it - I guess I’ll live,
but what about configuring scanner’s,Printer’s,etc??
I’m using kde 3.5 and it’s config tools dont work very well.

oh well…

thanks!!!
