Hi, I have several installs of Leap 42.3, and almost all of them have the same problem with yast2 - launching it results in: /sbin/ast2: line 447: 30273 segmentation fault (core dumped) $y2ccbin $Y2UI_ARGS “$@“ However, yast2 —gtk works just fine. No updates from repositories really helps. Anyone know how to fix this issue ? Thanks in advance. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I'm fully up to date, try (as root/sudo) zypper ref then zypper up -t patch to get to that state. Opened yast2 software and online update with no problems. I'm using yast under plasma5 although the only ui related package I can find is yast2-x11.

Oh, THAT! Yes, I had that in 11.<something> and again in 12.<something> and never did find a fix, so I just kept using the workaround that you describe. It was one of the things that weaned me off Yast and onto using the command line way of doing most things, particularly using "zypper" which I have now come to cherish. Surely when the same bug comes round again and again it is indicative of something wrong with the design? -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Oh, wait: # yast --qt /sbin/yast: line 440: 5789 Segmentation fault (core dumped) $y2ccbin $Y2UI_ARGS "$@" This is 42.2 # rpm -qf /sbin/yast yast2-3.1.217-5.6.1.x86_64 # zypper info yast2 Information for package yast2: ------------------------------ Repository : openSUSE-Leap-42.2-Update Name : yast2 Version : 3.1.217-5.6.1 Arch : x86_64 Vendor : openSUSE Installed Size : 2.1 MiB Installed : Yes Status : up-to-date Perhaps it *IS* time to bug-report this rather than just live with work-arounds. or perhaps it will be futile and the person reviewing the bug report will just tell us to use the workaround. THAT is why I am unhappy with the whole bug reporting process. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Hmm, my server has the same version of leap and yast2, and there it doesn't crash (although I can only test it vi 'ssh -X' as the server has no GUI). $y2ccbin should be /usr/lib/YaST2/bin/y2controlcenter - is any of the libs it uses from a different repository? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Finally I've got same problem on the last 42.3 PC after update.

FWIW, I don't have this problem - no crashes. I don't see anything that matches the issue in bugzilla either. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (8.0°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It has not happened to me, but I use neither Gnome nor Plasma nor gdm nor lightdm nor sddm on any of my 42.3 installations, all of which run either IceWM, TDE or KDE3 sessions, from either startx or TDM or KDM3. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.
