If you use sux and su to root then type yast2 it comes up. It's a problem with the .desktop files in ~/.kde/share/applnk. Some how they got very broken between 2.2.2 -> 3.0 and 3.0.1.
I tried to fire up yast2 from the Kmenu and it never displayed but was running and sucking up CPU like there was no tomorrow. I killed it then did an sux and fired up yast2. I then went to the Online update and it worked fine. It's something bizarre with the .desktop entries.

HI Ben, I tried what you suggested and it did not help. The failure mode is the same. BTW, I have neither man nor info pages for sux...what is it? Thanks, Andy -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org
