Description John Webster 2011-06-23 04:40:39 UTC

Yast2 cannot be launched either from the fallback GUI provided by the LiveCD or from Gnome-Shell (following subsequent installation of the system to hard disk and subsequent manual installation of gnome-shell and its extensions using the direct link available to Install/Remove Software). 

Manual installation of libgnomesu (and its dependencies) resolves the problem, and Yast Control Center then functions correctly.

Are you referring to the yast2 shell (i.e. "/sbin/yast2") or yast2 specific tools (e.g. "/sbin/yast2 network").

The absence of "libgnomesu" affects both the shell and the individual tools. However, the individual tools can be made to run manually via the links provided within Gnome Shell (they drop into the command line for the su password, but this is accepted when entered). The Yast2 control center cannot be launched via Gnome Shell at all (an error message appears briefly in the terminal window stating - correctly as it turns out - that the failure is due to "misconfiguration")

Ricardo, you likely know most about how applications are started in GNOME
and where a "Requires" fits best.

Comment 4 Forgotten User h13THG8RK1 2011-07-23 05:55:38 UTC

We use xdg-su (package: xdg-tools) for YaST.desktop and the other tools.

But we don't want to add the requirement to that package. Maybe we should just add it to gnome-utils or some other basic gnome package.

This was a bug where libgnomesu was not on the livecd, I fixed that in the patterns.
