How did you get the root prompt? Via graphical login?
Graphical login. Using command from console.
Are you able to start any other X application this way?
I just tried one: shaka:~ # ksnapshot ksnapshot(20818): Session bus not found KCrash: Application 'ksnapshot' crashing... sock_file=/root/.kde4/socket-shaka/kdeinit4__0 Warning: connect() failed: : No such file or directory KCrash cannot reach kdeinit, launching directly. drkonqi(20819): Session bus not found
Are you able to run YaST from the desktop menu?
Yes. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

for one there was no "su" in the original bug report. If you can reproduce it, please try if /usr/lib/YaST2/bin/y2controlcenter works
Sorry, I thought everyone could see that the command was written by root. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I don't see how the original report is confusing. I can reproduce the issue as well, but only sometimes. Here are the exact steps:
1. Turn on the computer. 2. Log in as a normal user. 3. Open konsole. 4. Type "su" and hit enter 5. Enter the root password and hit enter. 6. Type "yast2" and hit enter.
Observed results: 7. The following text is output on the command line: No protocol specified y2controlcenter: cannot connect to X server :0
Expected results: 7. YaST2 should have launched
The problem happens very rarely. Rebooting fixes it.
Can you still reproduce it? I can't now. It seems online update has fixed the issue. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Yi, since neme is a machine inhouse, I suggest to come by (Werner or me).
OK. I just rebooted it and now yast2 works. When this issue happens again, I'll come by. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
