https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=298560 Summary: yast won't run as root from xfce menu Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: 32bit OS/Version: openSUSE 10.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: gordon.holtslander@usask.ca QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- If xfce is installed as the window manager, when yast2 is selected from the xfce menu it does not prompt for the root password and only runs as a regular user. Only a limited number of yast modules that don't require root privileges are avialable. To run Yast2, in xfce it seems its necessary to open a conole, su to root, and then start yast2 from the command prompt -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
