I prefer to use yast-x11 on the cubieboard, it takes a looong time to start but then runs OK (over ssh). There are 2 problems with it:
1) The software management shows 37 autoinstall packages, including alsa-oss, bash-doc, glibc-extra, openssh-helpers, perl-HTML-Tidy, unzip-doc. zypper up shows nothing to do, as does yast-ncurses, and both show the locked packages apache2-mod_perl mariadb php5 Why does yast-x11 want to install a pile of stuff that is definitely ot needed by anything, like the -doc packages? Why is this difference in behaviour between x11/ncurses versions? 2) No keyboard input is accepted anywhere in yast. This stdout/err of yast-x11 says why: libEGL warning: DRI2: could not open /dev/dri/card0 (No such file or directory) xkbcommon: ERROR: failed to add default include path /usr/share/X11/xkb Qt: Failed to create XKB context! Use QT_XKB_CONFIG_ROOT environmental variable to provide an additional search path, add ':' as separator to provide several search paths and/or make sure that XKB configuration data directory contains recent enough contents, to update please see http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/ . Ooops, no X11 keyboard input installed! To fix: zypper in xf86-input-keyboard (another 27 packages) I installed yast-x11 with zypper in yast2-x11 yast2-control-center-qt libyui-qt6 xauth which installs ca 265 rpms, so something is missing a dependency on basic keyboard input. Or is this intentional? Otherwise I'll file a bug. I don't expect this to be specific to armv7hl, though it's triggered there because it's a smaller minimal system to start with. This is on factory, cubieboard, and I ran zypper up previously (giving me e.g. a new kernel).
