Hi,

Today I went to run yast2 to be presented with nothing - I click on yast2 within KDE and nothing happens, although the icon does appear at the bottom on the task bar. After a few seconds, it disappears.

Nothing is displayed on main screen - Any ideas of how to solve this????

What version of suse and KDE? Yast2 up-to-date?

Back when i was using SuSE i had lot of similar problems, mostly with KDE. I switched to Slack, and no way im going back ever again
Since i was a total neawbie then i just reinstalled everything to get things to work, but if you dont have any important preferences set for KDE you can try to delete (or better just rename) .kde directory in your /home and then restart KDE to force it to create a new .kde with default settings, then try if everything works. If the problem still occurse then just put your old .kde back into place, and you might want to try to e-mail SuSE support.

nonsense . . . .

suse8 with yast2 is just a piece of cake . . . .

your problem is with u not the distro...

Yeah - thats probably why the suse mailinglists are full with Yast2 problems and the only comments from commercial users you find go like "tested it and stick to 7.3" or "tested 8.0 and switch to other distro".
I got rid of suse because there is only Yast2 in 8.0

Yes. Try with SuSE 7.3 I haven't had a single problem with it (yet)
