https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=223341 ------- Comment #3 from jnelson-suse@jamponi.net 2006-11-25 19:24 MST ------- This is a problem for me too, although it was not an upgrade but a fresh install of 10.1, which as of this moment is also fully up-to-date. Yes, permissions mode 'secure' causes this problem, 'easy' does not. There needs to be a fix for this, kdesu works just fine with 'secure' but not gnomesu. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

This is fixed on 10.2, for 10.1 it's a duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 175616 *** -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

Deleting the .Xauthority for root, and rebooting, did the trick. Please change the bug report to: "if the root .Xauthority key is bad, yast2 invisibly fails to launch after asking for the root password". This is unresolved as of OpenSUSE 10.2. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
