Can you start YaST while logged as regular user? What happens when it
asks for root password, and you provide it? If you can start YaST,
then go and revert the change you made.

When I start Yast It doesn´t ask for root password (not any else password either), It starts up
and the only thing I´m able to do is: Software->Media Check. Everything else is "empty" (no
other icons no matter what I choose).
