[opensuse] Strange behaviour: yast2 hangs during startup
Hello every body, when starting yast2 from the command line after becoming root via e.g. "yast2 sw_single" or "yast2 lan" yast2 gets stuck within waitpid (at least strace told me that) - until now, I have not found the process yast2 is waiting for at this point. The curious things is: starting yast2 via the kde menu, ALT-F2 or even from the command line via ssh works fine, I did not observe any hangs so far, using these options. So far, google did not provide me any useful suggestions. I do not think that another yast2/zypper/... activity is blocking yast2, otherwise starting yast2 via the kde menu or ALT-F2 would not work either. Any hints are welcome.

Hi Fabian, Try 'su -' to switch to root, not sudo or 'su' alone. -- Regards, Rajko http://news.opensuse.org/category/people-of-opensuse/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
Hi Rajko,
Try 'su -' to switch to root, not sudo or 'su' alone.
thanks - that solved the problem :-) These environment issues are always somewhat painful to me ... mainly because I check them quite late or not at all - I should rank them much higher. Thank you again! Ciao, Fabian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
