Yast UI not working

yeoheric · August 3, 2016, 5:28pm

Hello,

I am running openSUSE Leap. I was noticed since yesterday that no applet in my Yast is working. I click on Yast icon → Enter root password and then when I click on any applet the cursor just whirls and nothing happens. I have tried launching Yast by typing sudo -E yast --qt in CLI but with the same result.

Yast2 ncurses works flawlessly.

Below are the list of repos on my system:

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thank you.

# zypper ls

Better is zypper lr -d or zypper lr -uP to show the URL of the Repos.
Because you can name a Repo as you want…

And please, use Code-Tags for the output.

Have you a 2 Monitor Setup?
If yes, open Yast on the first one.

On a fully updated and working Leap (as of Aug 03) you should see the following packages installed with the version shown. If not so, maybe one of your additional repos garbled the qt setup.

Because you can name a Repo as you want…

And please, use Code-Tags for the output.

Have you a 2 Monitor Setup?
If yes, open Yast on the first one.

wolfi323 · August 4, 2016, 8:47pm

It won’t work with “sudo”, sudo doesn’t allow to run graphical applications in openSUSE’s default setup.

Switch to root via “su -”, or start “Terminal - Super User Mode” in the application menu, then run “yast2 --q” and post the output.

If it doesn’t work, the reason should be mentioned in the log file, so please post /var/log/YaST2/y2log as well (the last 10 or so lines should suffice).

I don’t see anything in your repo list that might break YaST (haven’t checked the contents of those home repos).
But your setup is likely to cause multimedia problems though…

Sauerland:

Maybe you have the Packages installed from this Repo:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Nemton/openSUSE_Leap_42.1/x86_64/

Please post:
zypper se -sir 6
zypper se -si libxcb

I would delete that Repo and switch all Packages to opensuse…

Thank you for your reply. After mucking around for a while I did a:

# zypper dup

And Yast2 was back to normal! Thank you for your kind input I will remove the repo immediately.

Warmest regards from unbearably warm Malaysia…
