You have to use "su -" to reset the environment. There is something in the user environment that is kept by su without the - that causes it to fail. This also causes it to fail when started from YaST, unless you start yast2 from the command line after "su -" -- 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.
