Click on anything in the window, and in the terminal stderr prints an error like this: xdg-su: no graphical method available for invoking '/sbin/yast2 sw_single' as 'root' xdg-su should not be searching for some kind of stupid graphical credential checking thing when it is already running as root, it should just go ahead and exec the dadgum command. -- 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.
