If nothing else, nedit is the number 1, 2 and 3 tool for system configuration. That was easy (thanks to the kind soul who had packages). yast-x11 however just has dependencies on the kitchen sink. openSUSE dependencies for "minimal system" are plain foobared. Debian doesn't have that problem AFAICT. The keyboard input in X11 yast was dead because the several hundred MB of stuff yast-x11 pulls in didn't contain anything to handle keyboard input(!!). I think it was libyui-qt6 (plus dependencies) that was needed. xauth is missing too. Sorry it appears I forgot to post about the keyboard problem. There may be other fundamental problems. I don't expect installing yast2-x11 to give me a running X server. It does. xdm is running. OK if it's required for console logins - which I'll follow up later, my HDMI/VGA adapter died. Or is the serial login the only one supposed to work on the cubieboard image out of the box? On x86 I'd expect runlevel 3, X clients, local console logins, no graphical login. Maybe ARM is different. > > yast-ncurses now runs dooog-sloooowwww, just by installing (but not > > running) yast-x11. > > Can anyone reproduce that? yast2 over ssh starts up in 7s. yast in a terminal (also ssh) 49s. Just to show their start windows, not doing anything useful yet. Both are de-facto useless at this point (yast2 shows a big pile of stuff to install for no reason, still looking for why, no-one has time for yast on a Commodore C64). Memory use around 155MB, both started. Unsetting DISPLAY does not speed up yast.
