Hi,
I'm kind of new when it comes to Linux.. especially when it comes to troubleshooting.
The following has occured which I need some help with:
I installed SuSE Enterprise Server 9 SP3 64-bit on a Dell Poweredge 6850 machine. No problems there; all went smoothly.
For the past few days since installation we can use the server without problems. Now, since yesterday morning Yast2 stopped functioning.
When I start Yast (we don't use X !) I get a blank screen; nothing seems to happen. When I CTRL-Z and 'fg', we only see the titlebar (Yast2 @ <servername> press F1 for Help) and nothing more.
Haven't tried MC yet (it's not installed since nobody uses it on the server; and we want to keep it as lean as possible) but I have the feeling ncurses may be at fault, or perhaps terminal settings are changed without me knowing it.
Is there any way, without having to reinstall Yast2 and all it's RPM's (since we have to use SP3 CD's and originals back and forth.. it's a hassle) to make Yast work again? It'd make life much easier!
By the way, the .pid file is created in /var/run, the actual process runs as well, all seems to work except for screen output.
