Hi, I'm running Suse 9 professional on a Pentium. When I login as root yast works fine. But when I login as me and try ... xhost + GreenButton / system / yast Get password popup for command: /sbin/yast2; enter password Nothing happens. Yast2 never starts. Meanwhile /var/log/messages shows: Dec 30 09:49:02 helix su: (to root) sullivan on /dev/pts/4 Dec 30 09:49:02 helix su: pam_unix2: session started for user root, service su Dec 30 09:49:02 helix su: pam_unix2: session finished for user root, service su Dec 30 09:49:02 helix su: (to root) sullivan on /dev/pts/4 Dec 30 09:49:02 helix su: pam_unix2: session started for user root, service su Dec 30 09:49:03 helix su: pam_unix2: session finished for user root, service su Why can't I start yast2 this way?
