Hi experts, I just rebooted our SLES server and the login interface became the image below: ![](https://s18.postimg.org/nvjtub51l/image.jpg) This happen when I update the operating system using Yast. But now, the Yast also has a problem. I think it has missing menu. ![](https://s14.postimg.org/vzr4jqwht/image.jpg) I don’t know what to do. Hope to hear positive response from you guys. ---

Do you know what was there before? What exactly did the upgrade prompt in Yast show you it was going to do? How are you on disk space? Perhaps post the output from the following commands: ```auto yast -l df -h mount cat /etc/SuSE-release ``` – Good luck.

When you built this box, did you do a minimal install, or a GUI install, or JeOS install, or anything like that? My non-GUI install of SLES 11 SP-something has seventy-eight items listed. I have no idea why you would have lost something other than by doing an upgrade or other package change incorrectly. Maybe a clue will be in the zypper logs at /var/log/zypper.log though it’s a pretty verbose log. The y2logs may also be useful at /var/log/YaST2/y2log though it, too, is very verbose and I have little experience pulling out details from there. I suppose you could try to add things back into Yast with zypper, assuming that works properly; my current list o packages starting with ‘yast2’ from my box follows, though you would not need all of these: ```auto yast2 yast2-add-on yast2-add-on-creator yast2-apparmor yast2-audit-laf yast2-autofs yast2-backup yast2-boot-server yast2-bootloader yast2-branding-SLES yast2-ca-management yast2-core yast2-country yast2-country-data yast2-dbus-client yast2-dbus-server yast2-dhcp-server yast2-dirinstall yast2-dns-server yast2-fingerprint-reader yast2-firewall yast2-ftp-server yast2-hardware-detection yast2-http-server yast2-inetd yast2-installation yast2-instserver yast2-irda yast2-iscsi-client yast2-iscsi-server yast2-isns yast2-kdump yast2-kerberos-client yast2-kerberos-server yast2-ldap yast2-ldap-client yast2-ldap-server yast2-libyui yast2-mail yast2-mail-plugins yast2-metapackage-handler yast2-mouse yast2-ncurses yast2-ncurses-pkg yast2-network yast2-nfs-client yast2-nfs-common yast2-nfs-server yast2-nis-client yast2-nis-server yast2-ntp-client yast2-online-update yast2-online-update-frontend yast2-packager yast2-pam yast2-perl-bindings yast2-pkg-bindings yast2-power-management yast2-printer yast2-profile-manager yast2-python-bindings yast2-registration yast2-registration-branding-SLE yast2-repair yast2-restore yast2-runlevel yast2-samba-client yast2-samba-server yast2-schema yast2-security yast2-slp yast2-slp-server yast2-squid yast2-sshd yast2-storage yast2-storage-lib yast2-sudo yast2-support yast2-sysconfig yast2-tftp-server yast2-theme-SLE yast2-trans-en_US yast2-trans-stats yast2-transfer yast2-tune yast2-update yast2-users yast2-vm yast2-wagon yast2-xml yast2-ycp-ui-bindings ``` – Good luck.
