I just did an update of all packages and a bug has crept into yast2. The UI opens, but when you click on any module from the menu it indicates: xterm: bad command line option "-geom" I believe what's happening is that Yast2 is trying to open that little xterm window that normally opens in the upper left hand corner and now for whatever reason this command line flag is no longer accepted. Possibly this was a change in xterm. Here are the versions: xterm-273-1.2.i586 yast2-2.21.22-1.1.i586 Workaround is to issue yast2 <module> and bypass the menu.
