Description Rafał Miłecki 2009-08-24 11:43:17 UTC 
User-Agent:       Opera/9.64 (X11; Linux x86_64; U; pl) Presto/2.1.1

I can't not start yast2 from console. I open console then type:

$ su
[pass]
# yast2

but nothing happens.

Starting from KDE's menu works fine.

Reproducible: Always

Duplicate of bug 482749?

Let the yast screeners sort the yast bugs.
Comment 4 Jiří Suchomel 2009-09-16 14:07:34 UTC 
Not sure if it is bug 482749. Interesting is, that calling YaST from KDE menu really works. What's the difference?
Comment 5 Martin Vidner 2009-09-16 14:54:05 UTC 
I have verified that it works from the KDE menu, via kdesu.

That strace only shows that /sbin/yast2 waits for /usr/lib/YaST2/bin/y2controlcenter to finish, but not what the latter does. Use "strace -f" the next time.

It is most likely a duplicate. Please reopen if "unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" does not fix it.
