Hello.

I have installed the new installation SLED 11 sp2 on my PC . I have bought the annual Standart license.  
There is a problem w “YAST contorl center”  
No reaction from items of YAST after start it as the user/ with root’s password  
And there were no chances to update SLED online. I did it as superuser from console just have typed “zypper up”  
The Update was with success, but Yast is not working properly.

And now I must “sudo” from console to use Yast.

Is this a policykit issue?

What should I do to resolve it?

Thank you.

Hi  
If you create a test user, does the issue replicate to that user?

No, with a new user everything goes OK. No issues for a new user.

Hi  
OK, well at least that narrows it down to just your user 😉

So from a terminal, can you start via;

```auto
gnomesu /sbin/yast2
```

If not does it show errors?

hi

It does:

[QUOTE]ganz@DIR-100:~/Desktop\> gnomesu /sbin/yast2

\*\* (y2controlcenter-gnome:7854): WARNING \*\*: key not found [/apps/yast-control-center/cc\_actions\_list][/QUOTE]

Yast starts but the problem still there.

Thank you.
