Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install OS. 2.Open terminal to use zypper OR open Yast2 Software management GUI 3.Attempt to add remove any software. Actual Results: All attempts to operate the package management with zypper or Yast2 produce an error message stating packagekit has blocked the operation. Clicking 'yes' to kill packagekit does not work. The user is presented with unending prompts to kill pakagekit until clicking 'no' & abandoning attempts to use the package management system. Attempting to use packagekit to make package changes produces a non responsive dialog. Nothing further happens. Expected Results: The package management system will promptly be able to operate without hindrance upon installation of the operating system. Only way to fix the problem: 1) Open Apper Updater & reconfigure to 'never' check. 2) Set "apper" to not automatically start. (In KDE, that's at "Configure Desktop" --> "Startup and Shutdown" --> "Service Manager") 3) Reboot & remove packagekit (and apper). (In KDE open a terminal(console) & issue: sudo zypper rm packagekit) User is finally free to use Zypper in terminal(console) or Yast in GUI as intended. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
