What SuSE? Can you please post results for "cat /etc/*release"
And, do you have this file: /usr/bin/ruby.ruby2.5
Did updates get applied? Or what changed?

Also, have you looked at this: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthre...r-Update/page2

Opensuse 15. I see what others did but that is not a solution for me.

This is a shot in the dark, but have you tried opwning a terminal, suing to root, and starting YAST from the command line? It might throw some useful error messages to the terminal.

When I try starting Yast from the command line as su I get:

linux-at4l:/home/henk # Yast
If 'Yast' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
cnf Yast

Try lower case: yast

/usr/bin/ruby.ruby2.5: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

Looks like you might be missing the ruby package. Or it's version changed, but yast did not. Perhaps some rpm action on the package in question will remedy the issue. Still a bit odd, how was this installed? Or updated? It's not normal for a distro to F up their package management system. I've had issues in debian when the power went out mid update and a /var/lib/dpkg/? file got corrupted. With a .old version of that file making it so I was able to swap it in on the corrupted one to get it going again. But that was in an era before journaling filesystems and such.

frankbell · 05-27-2019, 07:57 PM

The name of the program file might not be "Yast." It might be "yast" or possible "YaST" or some other permutation. Unfortunately, I don't have SUSE install to check.

Try these commands:

Code:

whereis yast*
whereis Yast*
whereis YaST*

Shadow_7 · 05-27-2019, 08:10 PM

As previously suggested, all lowercase, or it was YaST with just the vowel being lower case when I tried SuSE 6.1 back in the late 90's. If I remember correctly.

I stopped using SuSE back when 7 came out due to an installation issue on my laptop at the time. A PCMCIA probe that hung the laptop. Which also affected Mandrake. Debian 3 (woody) had no such issue and let me "skip" that probe. I did eventually get SuSE installed via the floppy and "older" methods. But 6.1 was probably the best release of any distro for the next decade plus. One time I installed SuSE 6.1 and got enlightenment with a wicked gnome theme. A task bar that wasn't just a gray rectangle, what a novel idea. Another time I installed SuSE 6.1 and it was in german. It was a beast of a distro, with an ICQ client and a beta version of IBMs DB2 database. In a time when mostly RedHat and SuSE were the only players in town (in a corporate / popularity sense). Although Mandrake was more popular in academic circles for media creation, particularly audio creation.

yast runs text mode YaST.

yast2 runs graphical mode YaST2

Do you get the same error if you try text mode yast?

These are the ruby rpms installed on my 15.1, on which both work as expected:

Code:

> sudo rpm -qa | grep -i yast
libruby2_5-2_5-2.5.0-lp151.3.43.x86_64
libstorage-ng-ruby-4.1.103-lp151.2.1.x86_64
ruby-2.5-lp151.2.1.x86_64
ruby-common-2.1-lp151.4.1.noarch
ruby2.5-2.5.0-lp151.3.43.x86_64
ruby2.5-rubygem-abstract_method-1.2.1-lp151.2.1.x86_64
ruby2.5-rubygem-cfa-0.7.0-lp151.1.1.x86_64
ruby2.5-rubygem-cfa_grub2-1.0.1-lp151.1.1.x86_64
ruby2.5-rubygem-cheetah-0.5.0-lp151.2.1.x86_64
ruby2.5-rubygem-fast_gettext-1.6.0-lp151.2.1.x86_64
ruby2.5-rubygem-gem2rpm-0.10.1-lp151.4.43.x86_64
ruby2.5-rubygem-ruby-augeas-0.5.0-lp151.2.2.x86_64
ruby2.5-rubygem-ruby-dbus-0.14.0-lp151.2.1.x86_64
ruby2.5-rubygem-simpleidn-0.0.9-lp151.2.1.x86_64
ruby2.5-stdlib-2.5.0-lp151.3.43.x86_64
yast2-ruby-bindings-4.1.4-lp151.1.1.x86_64

If yours don't match, try this:

Code:

> sudo zypper ref; sudo zypper ve

Then try yast again.

I installed all the updates, almost daily there are updates.
And yast used to work in a terminal and in the graphical mode.
