Yast2 won't work unless using --ncurses options

English Applications
#1

Greetings !!

I just did an update that needs a restart (the kernel may changed) and now I can’t launch Yast2 unless I launch it using terminal with --ncurses option.

The different errors I had are:

**cyrius:/usr/share/YaST2/clients # yast2 --gtk **

GTK GUI wanted but not found, falling back to Qt.
YaST got signal 11 at file /usr/share/YaST2/clients/menu.rb:192
/sbin/yast2: line 440: 6171 Segmentation fault $ybindir/y2base $module “$@” “$SELECTED_GUI” $Y2_GEOMETRY $Y2UI_ARGS

cyrius:/usr/share/YaST2/clients # yast2 --qt

/sbin/yast2: line 440: 6196 Segmentation fault $y2ccbin $Y2UI_ARGS “$@”

I recently added a R7 graphical card… and removed qcad.

Any clues ?

FWIW, a similar thread here

https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/503960-yast2-seg-faults-after-fresh-installation-of-opensuse-13-2

although that was with a new installation where the user had a radeon card. Are you using a proprietary driver?

If you boot up in failsafe mode, does YaST (graphical mode) then work?

Configured repos?

zypper lr -d

Please post your repository list. The output of “zypper lr --details”,
and please do so inside a code tags section. Use the ‘#’ button in the
forum editor.

Effectively in “recovery mode” Yast2" worked !!
I did not troubleshoot so far I was working.

here is the zypper lr -d results:

I installed proprietary driver because of this: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/508967-opensuse-13-2-R7-370-installed-but-can-not-boot-but-in-recovery-mode

Seems linked with opengl.

So, this is really a graphics issue (as suspected). What is returned via the following?

fglrxinfo

You have some duplicates.

This is the fglrxinfo (my program openglc is a test program to see if opengl is able to draw something…)

cyrius:/datas1/exemples/opengl # fglrxinfo 
X Error of failed request:  BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  157 (ATIFGLEXTENSION)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  66 ()

As far as I know, but it is still suppositions (guesses) in “recovery mode” the opengl is disabled.
I don’t know if Yast2 uses opengl… I saw that we could open yast2 in GTK or Qt and both could use opengl routines to draw at screen.

Well, the proprietary ATI/AMD driver implements it’s own openGL libraries, so IMO something is wrong with your driver install. I’d consider removing it entirely and starting over.

Greetings !!

I uninstalled the amd proprietary driver… now I can only boot on recovery mode.

I tried to install again the driver but it fails… when the installer says “building package”, in fact it does nothing, impossible to find the built rpm somewhere on the file system.

Why don’t you use the ones from the ATI repo??

#12

Solved using this link: http://geeko.ioda.net/mirror/amd-fglrx/ymp/amd-ati-fglrx64.ymp

Now all the opengl “stack” are running and do Yast2.
