[opensuse] reinitialize yast?
Is there a way to basically reinstall yast? Ditch all of it's settings and redo everything? This is getting really frustrating. The problem I've been struggling with (http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2007-01/msg02415.html) is just getting worse. Now I can no longer go into the yast http_server control panel because as soon as it tries to read the network configuration, it just hangs. Not just slow, it's hung. The process is running away with the cpu and I've left it alone for two hours. So, is there a way I can take yast back to square one? -- Andy Harrison -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Assuming 10.2 (I haven't had that problem though), I would recommend instead to install all the latest yast and related packages from Factory.

Actually my yast packages were all updated. If anything, that made it worse. I was able to run yast in a term window no problem, so I just did what I needed to do that way. Odd that the gui would fail yet the exact same function would work fine in text mode. Anyway, my latest 10.2 fun behavior is my last. Nothing to do with yast even. I just thought it was odd that zen mentioned no rpm updates for a few days. I go and look at my zen configuration and the big fistful of repositories I had thrown in there have all vanished. So, that's it for suse for me. Zen is a royal pig anyway and I notice it consuming a little over two *HUNDRED* megs of ram while it's simply checking for updates in the background. I could live with the slowness and excessive resource consumption if it was just going to do its job and not make me have to mess with it. Now if it's just going to misbehave at random like that, it's just no longer worth the effort. I just burned another linux distro, hopefully I'll end up less frustrated. -- Andy Harrison -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
