good one, but I doubt sarcasm works... the good news is that today between 9:48-9:52 BST, yast2 software did not crash... I use the packages from yast head repo give them a try and maybe you are lucky... I just checked the first bug report on the issue was reported on 26/04...

The problem was already mentioned some weeks ago so what you are asking for must already be in the archives.

BC just to make it clear... the bug, which had many incarnations, was first reported on 26/04/2012... was discussed on irc and on mailing list quite few times... and if someone who is remotely interested in factory is asking for a bug number I may start to think.

Basil did you try yast:head repo? http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/YaST:/Head/openSUSE_Factory/ please try and report.

No, I haven't tried it. I have never heard of it. I have never heard of anything with "/Head" in it until someone mentioned "/Head" several days ago in relation to the kernel (to which I responded that, while I did enjoy living dangerously, I used the "/stable" part for the kernel in install). Now you mention "../Head/openSUSE_Factory/". How many other such hidden/"funny"/unknown/covert repositories are they which people have access to to try and solve their problems? I'll try out the repo you mention ASAP (probably tomorrow morning, my time) and see what occurs. Thanks for the giving the name of this repo.

I just re-installed (yes, again, because the devil made me do it) openSUSE Beta #2 - and, yes, once again, the full DVD, Build #452, ISO one. Not sure what you are talking about, but you are encouraged to participate in two bugs I created recently:

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=769788 Resizing xterm crashes yast

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=769189 yast software manager opens too small

I thank you for you invitation to participate in those 2 bug reports. This is the first time ever that someone has invited me to participate in such an exercise which is why I feel quite flattered and am therefore thanking you :-) . However, the problems you mention in those 2 reports are not the same as what has been reported earlier and which I am experiencing as well as others. And to clarify what I stated in my original post to which you responded (above), "Not sure what you are talking about,...", when the Software Manager in YaST, activated from the System Settings menu, is running and one wants to install a particular application/rpm/file such as, let's see.... try vlc, and left-clicks on its tick box the Software Manager just goes....pooof!....disappears!...gone without even a simple, Had a Lot of Fun from Your openSUSE Team? :-) . Now, zypper is fully functional and the only way at the moment in 12.2 to get (most of) the software installed. Although, I think, if my memory serves me correctly, running 'yast' as root from a command line, when one boots into level 3 at the grub boot menu, works correctly and it doesn't do the Houdini disappearing act :-) .
