YaST2 br0ke..now I cant use YOU to patch my box :-(
All of a sudden, the Yast2 on my firewall (SuSE 7.2) lost all its modules (xcept for the 'welcome' module). I checked files against another firewall box (SuSE 7.2) which also has yast2 installed (works fine there). I did not find any missing files or similar, ie. in /usr/lib/YaST2/ and /usr/lib/YaST2/menuentries :-( I do now honestly fear the evil hax0rs trying to r00t my box, because SuSE YOU doesnt work anymore... anyone got an useful hint or similar experiences? .-. /v\ L I N U X // \\ >I know KungFu!!< /( )\ ^^-^^
Hello Christian,
All of a sudden, the Yast2 on my firewall (SuSE 7.2) lost all its modules (xcept for the 'welcome' module). I checked files against another firewall box (SuSE 7.2) which also has yast2 installed (works fine there). I did not find any missing files or similar, ie. in /usr/lib/YaST2/ and /usr/lib/YaST2/menuentries :-(

anyone got an useful hint or similar experiences?
Nothing similar, but use the rpm subsystem to find out what's wrong:
rpm -Vva
will check all files in the rpm database for changes, especially if they
are missing.
Anyway, you can always use yast (Yast1) to install yast2 packages (which
is what you will do anyway to get it running again). Alternatively, use
the rpm command directly to install the yast2 rpms (from the yast1 series
on the CD):
rpm -ihv yast1/*.rpm
Thanks,
Roman.

I do now honestly fear the evil hax0rs trying to r00t my box, because SuSE YOU doesnt work anymore... I'd rather like YOU to be useable from commandline. The functionality is not very complex, I assume, and it is annoying to press "Next" a couple of times, just to get updates. I sent feedback info to SuSE before release of 7.3, but they didn't introduce anything like apt-get :(
