Can anybody tell me how to fix this?
Or you could try
su --preserve-environment -c /sbin/yast2
Well I suppose that might work... Though I think Patrick's suggested command form: su - -c yast2 is easier to type, and while it never occurred to me to mix the "- " option to get something like root's own login environment, with the "-c command" option, if it works like he said (I'll have to test it next time I boot OpenSuSE (at the moment I'm reading my mail with Sabayon Linux) It sounds logical to me that it would work since using the "- " option to get a root shell then typing "yast2" worked...
which I came across when I read the MAN page for 'su'. MAN pages are always fun reads :-)
"fun" ??? Oh I see FUN as in (F)ailed to (U)nderstand it (N)aturally
I've always found most man documents somewhat confusing. It's almost as if
they were written to both remind a true computer science pro which options
are currently implemented while trying to deny understanding to anyone who
hasn't taken (and passed) the relevant college courses yet... Though
occasionally I find one with just enough real world examples in it to
make it easier to understand the how, if not the why...
Thanks
