http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1187478 Bug ID: 1187478 Summary: Suddenly, cannot launch YaST2 because won't launch with root permissions Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 15.2 Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE Leap 15.2 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 Assignee: yast2-maintainers@suse.de Reporter: tonysu@su-networking.com QA Contact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- Although am setting this as an openSUSE 14.2 problem, I also noticed this happening on 15.3 so don't believe this is an OS problem. As recently as yesterday, it was possible to launch YAST2 from the menu, but now cannot on both a 15.2 and a newly installed and updated 15.3. At first, noticed trying to install an app using One Click Install on to the 15.3 machine, and the install failed because root permissions not set. Then, noticed the same problem unable to launch YAST2 on a 15.2 from the menu... Was able to enter credentials but then failed saying that root permissions required. Of course in the case of the 15.2 machine I could get around the problem by launching from a root console. This all seems to have happened within the past 24 hours. In both cases the machines were freshly updated. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
