Doug, What time zone are you in? I am in PST at the moment - so if you are in US time - and willing to work out your issues over the on-line meeting - I would be happy to help. I do not use Tumbleweed, but I am pretty familiar with leap releases and general opensuse administration tools, documentation and troubleshooting. If that is something you would be interested in. Let me know off the list, so that we can organize how to connect. Tomas On Mon, Sep 14, 2020, 09:14 Tomas Kuchta <tomas.kuchta.lists@gmail.com> wrote: > > > On Mon, Sep 14, 2020, 02:57 Carlos E.

No. Try it yourself. "yast" is the text mode interface, while yast2 runs in graphical mode. Yes, it is the same binary, but yet they behave differently. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)

Use cursor keys to move up | down | left | right, Tab to move between sections, Alt[letter] to jump, Function keys to act, Enter to select. For example, yast starts with Software highlighted; use cursor right to move to the software module list, cursor down to move to Software Repositories, Enter to start it; The first repository is highlighted. Tab or use Alt[letter] to move to other areas; e.g. AltP takes you to Priority, where you can use up|down cursor to change its value, etc. AltO or F10 saves, AltC or F9 cancels, etc. It's easier to use the GUI YaST (pick it from your desktop menu, or type yast2& in a terminal).

It doesn't matter what the binary is. Typing yast in a terminal opens an ncurses version with no mouse support. Typing yast2 opens a GUI that does support a mouse. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org
