this may well be a silly question, but is everyone trying this sure that they have the graphical yast2 rpms available on their end hosts?
It works for me, I run YaST2 remotely all the time. Including on 11.3.
e.g. when I do rpm -qa | grep yast | egrep "curse|gtk|qt"
yast2-qt-2.19.1-1.9.x86_64 yast2-gtk-2.21.68-0.1.1.x86_64
it looks as though there are different RPMs for curses, gtk & qt ...
Which makes sense.
I just tried making ssh chains like this and invoking yast2 at the end of the chain. Sometimes I get the GUI and sometimes I get the curses version.
That means you DISPLAY is not exported in some circumstances
echo $DISPLAY
