yast won't load
I'm a NooB in the world of Linux and I've installed SuSe 9.3 a couple of days ago with a ftp install.
Today I was looking at "Add/remove program" in Yast. I've installed some stuff and removed also some stuff. I think too much. Now Yast won't load anymore and YOU doesn't work too. I think I've uninstalled some software of Yast. Is there a way to install software without Yast except the console because I don't understand yet. Is it possible to fix these problems or is the best way to start all over again?? I've no problems with other programs in Suse. Thank you!! |

Yast is a GUI from end to the rpm program. Anything that Yast can install can be installed on the command line using rpm. The command to install package coreutils-5.2.1-23.8.i586.rpm from a directory called /root/rpms is: rpm -i /root/rpms/coreutils-5.2.1-23.8.i586.rpm See: man rpm There is also a KDE GUI program called kpackage which can be used to install rpms. You can start kpackage from the menu or you can enter the kpackage command from the command line. ---------------------------------- Steve Stites |
hey, i had thesame problem when i first installed 9.3, all i did was run yast from a konsole. from there i updated everything using the ftp site ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/linux/suse/ftp.sus....3/yast-source and also misc/update_for_9.3/yast-source (add these to installation media-then go to package selections and go to the bottom, "zzz- All" and right click on any of the rpms and select all in list-update if newer version available)
also i then ran the YOU from a konsole, rebooted the machine and everything ran fine hope this helps, and you get the same luck as me, cos yast2 runs fine now cheers chris |
