YaST won't stop freezing.
I think I've solved the problem of how to get different files to be installed, EXCEPT for the fact that YaST won't stop freezing. It doesn't matter WHAT I use YaST for. I have to force quit EVERY SINGLE TIME. I have no idea what to do to fix it. I've tried everything. Help?

Which SuSE distro are you using.
You may have too many repositories entered or there is one that has problems. Run "kdesu /sbin/yast2 inst_sources" and see if some can be removed. If you are using openSuSE 10.1, it's update system was mono based and a real dog. openSuSE 10.3 was a vast improvement on the earlier versions. It was a regular user how provided that innovation. |
I'm using 10.3 and do you mean type that in a terminal?
|
He means system>terminal
all the best |
Running "kdesu /sbin/yast2 inst_sources" in a terminal for me results in a prompt for root password and then..........nothing.
What was it supposed to do? |
Code:
bash: kdesu: command not found |
It very much looks as if there is something wrong with your GUI, but you may try this, before investigating if there is indeed something wrong with that.
Open a terminal (you can choose several terminals, when you go the way indicated by ronlau9). su (so don't do the kdesu stuff) /sbin/yast2 --qt or /sbin/yast2 --gtk Over here both commands open GUI Yast interfaces. You could check your install sources from there. There is nothing very arcane about these commands: yast2 --help from the command line is all you need. EDIT: Also: try a separate terminal Ctr + Alt + <Fx>, say <F2> (do not use <F7>) and run yast2 from there. |
Code:
yast2: unrecognized option `--gtk' Code:
'yast2: unrecognized option `--qt' |

yast --gtk yast2 --gtk yast2 --qt All four commands preceded by /sbin/ work as well, at least here ;-) I mentioned the GUI because I have had trouble with SUSE + KDE in the past, although it was quite some time ago. The Desktop became completely unaccessible. I could not open a terminal inside KDE either. Re GUI If you start Yast from KMenu -> Applications -> System -> Configuration -> Administrator Settings you are working in a GUI environment. That is the reason I also gave the extra option of logging into a terminal quite apart from the KDE Desktop. |
I'm pretty sure mine is GNOME so I wouldn't have the same problem. But none of those yast --qt [etc.] commands are working for me. They don't do anything. I'm wondering if I could switch to something other than YaST for a SPM but it seems as though most of those things can only be installed IF I use YaST to install those new SPMs -__- So... I'm kinda stuck here. I just don't understand why I have to force quit EVERYtime. I just need an answer as to why and then I can probably figure out a way to fix it.

Have a look here.

Re CL yast + options: surely yast --help will give you the options for your SUSE if they are different. Anyway, alan_ri's link looks promising. Have a good look at that: I would. Good luck. |
