Description Harry Lanza 2006-03-03 14:41:59 UTC 
I get errors when trying to load YaST modules using a shell as superuser. The module loads but I get a blank page. It works as it should using normal user mode.

linux:/home/user # kcontrol
kbuildsycoca running...

works fine on my 10.1 beta5 - the yast modules are gone from 10.1 though. You should use normal yast2 as root to open yast modules
