I recently upgraded 12.2 to 12.3 as mentioned on the OpenSUSE website. It was smooth upgrade but after that whenever I start running YAST2 I get the following error.
First of all I can not see yast2 in the applications list and running from terminal in superuser mode i get the following error.
(y2controlcenter-gnome:8989): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_set: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
And on clicking on the any of the yast2 module, I get the following error.
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'YUIPluginException' what(): Couldn't load plug-in gtk YaST got signal 6 at YCP file Wizard.ycp:1822 /sbin/yast2: line 431: 9125 Aborted $ybindir/y2base $module "$@" "$SELECTED_GUI" $Y2_GEOMETRY $Y2UI_ARGS

I am continuous updating my laptop since then and installing patches also. But I am unable to solve this issue. I have also re-installed glib, yast2 packages few times.
Lets see the detail on repo 28

You don’t think using Factory might be a concern?
su -
Does it work?
Yes, yast in ncurses mode works fine and I am operating with that only.
Should I remove FACTORY and do zypper dup? Will it help?

The problem is, you have so many repos.
But you can try:
su -
But I ought to be asking you… Do you know you really need all those repos?
I generally add all community repos. I am not sure about what repo should I be using.
I am a PHP/JAVA/NODEJS developer so if you can suggest me what shall I keep and remove, would be great. I know this is a wrong question but if you answer, would be appreciated.
You need to establish just what apps/software you need that isn’t supplied in the standard set of repos. Because typically pretty much most things are.
The recommendation is to typically use the default repos + Packman, libdvdcss and any required graphics repo. That’s it.
Set all repos to auto refresh
And see if it looks possible or if it’s dependency nightmare
Thanks It solved my problem. But I am unable to see YaST2 in my applications but it does not matters much. Package manager appears.
Many thanks to you.
Well, you were pretty lucky IMO to have a working system.
