Trying it with zypper in the console, it comes up with a conflict:
DESKTOP-4FH9U1P:/home/doug # zypper install artha System management is locked by the application with pid 30093 (/usr/bin/ruby.ruby2.7). Close this application before trying again.
I don't know what this ruby thing is, or why it is open, and I DON'T KNOW HOW TO CLOSE IT!
YaST is coded with Ruby, so very probably you have YaST open somewhere else.
You can verify what app it is. In a wide terminal, type: ps afxu | less -S Then type "/" for search forward, then type the PID number you got above, "30093" and you can see the application that started it. Example - the PID is different here: USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND ... cer 6055 0.0 0.1 456456 36604 ? Sl Aug30 0:02 lxterminal cer 6086 0.0 0.0 0 0 ?

PID 954. Well, above it is "/sbin/yast2 sw_single" that is the software management module, which is the one to close. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)
