I tried 7.3 and it tried to display an X window (which is not going to pass the firewall). _X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't get address for nat-ssh y2controlcenter: cannot connect to X server nat-ssh:0.0 I've used the YaST2 text mode during an installfest whilst installing, but never remotely.

# DISPLAY= yast2 Don't tell YaST2 that there is a X11 Display and will use ncurses as frontend.

That works, thanks: # unset DISPLAY # yast2 Setting display to yast2 does not work, but unsetting it works like a charm. On 8 Apr 2002 at 16:07, Thorsten Kukuk wrote:

He is not setting the display to yast2. He is setting it to empty on the same line as he's calling yast2. Try the line exactly like he wrote it. -- Mads Martin Jørgensen, http://mmj.dk "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogic, with just a little bit more effort?" -- A.
