[opensuse] Two 11.1 Installation Problems
Hello Folks! Both of these questions were addressed at various times on the list over the last few months - but I have no choice but to raise them again. I am not even writing from my normal Linux box - which is not in the best of health. Environment: openSUSE 11.1 + KDE 4.1 (with a few adjustments), fresh install using clean partitions. Problem 1: After the first boot, the installation completed using yast in text mode. That was not so terrible, but after logging on for normal use, yast2 refused to run in GUI mode; the command line error message was "qt GUI missing" - No missing shared lib name given. Does anyone have a solution for this? I regard the yast2 tool as the major system management tool bar none, which differentiates openSUSE from the rest of the pack. I hope that there is a simple solution to this other than - re-install. Problem 2: Midnight commander refuses to come up at all. It just hangs. I checked it by opening a full screen text mode session - it didn't work there either. I found nothing helpful in man mc. Again, any takers on this one? mc is my most heavily used text mode management tool, so I've really ground to a halt.

Yes, I saw exactly that too. I didn't look into it though. /Per -- /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
Did you see the ongoing problem with yast2 after the installation?
My guess: yast2 is looking for lib

No, not yet, but I'll check.
YaST2 seems to be working fine - I started it from the KDE menu, no problems. -- /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

.so.x and we have a missing symlink to something actually installed, and which would do the trick. But what might it be? ----- Original Message ----- From: Per Jessen

I had problems with 11.1, but no problems starting yast or running in gui mode. I filed a bug against the yast ncurses field size which has evidently been fixed. The Yast gui seems to work OK. I did the install with kde 3.5 -- although my first boot resulted in the kde 4.1 desktop?? I would check for other bugs with yast and 11.1 I haven't tried mc yet in 11.1 -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

I haven't tried mc yet in 11.1
mc works fine for me in 11.1. Also, I have no problems with YaST ans YaST2. Charles -- "Calling EMACS an editor is like calling the Earth a hunk of dirt." -- Chris DiBona on Dirt (Open Sources, 1999 O'Reilly and Associates)

You should : 1) run strace -o mc.strace mc and then look where mc hangs (or post the generated file here) 2) open a bugreport -- Best regards / s pozdravem Petr Uzel, Packages maintainer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: puzel@suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 964 190 00 Prague 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
