Do you mean 'zypper'?
Nope, YaST2.
You mean that you have never had the pleasure of using YaST2 in keyboard mode?!
What you have been missing! :-)
Login as root at level 3 and then on the command line, "Yast2". Take it from here - and enjoy! :-) .
Oh you mean
CURSES!
Once. Never again!
-- The saying often quoted from Lord Kelvin… that 'where you cannot measure your knowledge is meagre and unsatisfactory,' as applied in mental and social science, is misleading and pernicious. This is another way of saying that these sciences are not science in the sense of physical science and cannot attempt to be such without forfeiting their proper nature and function. Insistence on a concretely quantitative economics means the use of statistics of physical magnitudes, whose economic meaning and significance is uncertain and dubious. (Even wheat is approximately homogeneous only if measured in economic terms.) And a similar statement would even apply more to other social sciences. In this field, the Kelvin dictum very largely means in practice, 'if you cannot measure, measure anyhow!' — Frank Hyneman Knight 'What is Truth' in Economics?

I use Yast2 in text/curses all the time (for remote access via SSH). It doesn't need the bandwidth that X-forwarding would need, and I find it reasonably usable. Not as pretty, of course, and you spend a lot of time hitting the arrow keys, but it is useable.
If I had to use yast2 in the context you mention then yes. But all I had to use was zypper. In fact the one liner was rm /etc/zypp/repos.d/Xorg.repo; \ zypper -y up; \ systemctl isolate graphical-target -- The same applies for other kinds of long-lasting low-level pain.

[...] So here's my programme for breaking that cycle of dependency on Windows: get left arm tattooed with dragon motif, buy a crate of Jamaican Hot! Pepper Sauce, get nipples pierced. With any luck that will produce enough endorphins to make Windows completely redundant, and I can then upgrade to Linux and get on with things. -- Pieter Hintjens -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
