Sorry, but it seems you need to issue "xhost +" before doing "su -";
apparently, in 11.1, the super-user ("root") doesn't have display privileges.
You can also just use gnome-su as in comment 9.
The gdb trace btw is only useful when you hit the crash. As another FYI, y2base
is the real thing: /sbin/yast2 and other scripts are just convenience
bootstraps that call y2base with certain arguments. In our case, the live-cd
desktop shortcut would call "/sbin/yast2 live-installer" which would in turn
call "/usr/lib/YaST2/bin/y2base live-installer gtk": so we're just calling the
latter directly because gdb doesn't interpret shell scripts. (the live-cd
shortcut also calls gnome-su as in "gnome-su -- /sbin/yast2 live-installer" and
that's what we were missing.)
