I guess I was to quick about saying that it works :-( Yesterday I simply tested if the yast2 window opens, which was originally not true, but after reinstalling gnome-keyring it worked again. However I did not test to open any module of yast2, which still does not work from my desktop. Actually I reinstalled my desktop (reconfiguring it as NFS client again) today to avoid trouble from possibly missing packages... To use NFS and centrally managed users it needs also configuration for ldap, krb5, sssd, autofs and nis. When running yast2 remotely on a SLES12SP2 host the controlcenter appears. When I select any module to start nothing happens again. If I try to run eg yast sw_single also nothing happens, no window opens. Also qdirstat does not open. On the other side I have a notebook with 42.2 where a yast2 disk started remotely on the same SLES12SP2 host does work without problems. So my guess is, that some part of the configuration from above might cause the trouble but at the moment I have no idea how to find out more. If anyone has an idea please let me know... Thanks Rainer
