hrm, there seem to be two separate problems here.
Firstly it looks like there was an old version of autopackage lying around. We don't deal with this situation very well currently.
Actually it may have been from another copy of the same version of autopackage - the stuff I pasted was actually from the second attempt to install it. I hadn't installed autopackage on that machine before (afaik, unless it came with SuSE).
The second problem is this:
(autosu-gtk:26246): Gdk-WARNING **: shmat failed: error 2 (Invalid argument) Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified
In other words, perhaps the reason we didn't set things up correctly is that autosu failed to start. Why? I don't know. The shmat error indicates some kind of problem with the X SHM Pixmaps extension, but I have no clue what might cause it to fail. Perhaps a permissions issue - is the user you ran the installer as able to connect to the X server normally?
Yes, although maybe an 'xhosts +' or whatever would help... I'll give that a try when I'm next at that machine. I'll also talk to the sysadmin that set up the box, he usually has good ideas for what's going on with X issues and knows SuSE inside and out.
