It depends on the locale of root, I think.

it's probably more complicated, in root kde in in english (default) but yast in french :-(

the final solution is:

login as user normally, open an xterm

...

xhost su # LANG=us_US.utf8 # yast2

thanks for the help :-) jdd

I do something like that, but without the "xhost" part. Simply use "su -" instead of "su", because you are inheriting the user's environment, instead of using root's environment. My guess is that then you would get yast in English (default). If not, then simply add the "LANG" thing:

su - # yast2

or # LANG=us_US.utf8 yast2 (one line). - -- Saludos Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFEd01YtTMYHG2NR9URAqriAJ0U07jz0O3Iyau/K0OsIy3PHpIz2gCffJ1g MfP/WucxgHJtmyYxvd8B68Y= =xcZE -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
