I cannot start YaST anymore since I updated to KDE 4.3 with the new libqt 4.5. The YaST log file ends at: 2009-07-16 15:46:58 <1> reger(28478) [ui] YUI.cc(YUI):62 Creating UI with threads
Do you have any ideas what's wrong here and how to fix it? Or should I ask the YaST devs?
There is a problem starting YaST with the new qt/kde if you don't have a login shell as root. In other words, if you do "su" instead of "su -" for example.
The problem seems to be that it wants to contact the user dbus instance, but doesn't have permissions for it. If you get a login shell as root, it won't try to do that, and then everything works
