Description saydul akram 2011-11-11 06:40:47 UTC 
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:7.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/7.0.1

I can not open YaST2 through the terminal, and found an error message like this: The connection is closed.
As for the steps that I do
# su
# YaST2

The same thing happens when I open gedit through terminal applications and appear this error: (gedit: 8382): WARNING **: Could not connect to session bus

but both the above problems can be solved when I use the command # su - to root access
# su -

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open Terminal
2.#su
3.#yast2

This is really expected, and "su -" should be used.

This needs to be documented, see bug 682726.
