As far as I see the actual issue is the following: While the YaST "Software Management" module is running, other YaST modules cannot install required software packages so that the other YaST modules cannot be used as long as the YaST "Software Management" module is running. E.g. when the YaST "Software Management" module is running and the YaST printer modules wants to install a printer driver software package, it cannot do this and one gets a popup message that tells about it ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- System management is locked by the application with pid 30674 (/usr/lib/YaST2/bin/y2base). Close this application before trying again. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- (I get the same popup message in the YaST scanner module.) And in /var/log/YaST2/y2log there are lines like: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [zypp] ZYppFactory.cc(_openLockFile):166 Open lockfile /var/run/zypp.pid [zypp] ZYppFactory.cc(readLockFile):221 read: Lockfile /var/run/zypp.pid has pid 30674 (our pid: 24023) [zypp] ZYppFactory.cc(isProcessRunning):193 Checking /proc/30674{d 0555 0/0} [zypp++] ZYppFactory.cc(isProcessRunning):207 Is running: /usr/lib/YaST2/bin/y2base [zypp] ZYppFactory.cc(zyppLocked):268 30674 is running and has a ZYpp lock. Sorry. [zypp] ZYppFactory.cc(_closeLockFile):184 Close lockfile /var/run/zypp.pid [zypp] Exception.cc(log):137 ZYppFactory.cc(getZYpp):399 THROW: System management is locked by the application with pid 30674 (/usr/lib/YaST2/bin/y2base). [zypp] Exception.cc(log):137 Close this application before trying again. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- When I close the YaST "Software Management" module and afterwards I click [Continue] in the popup message then the YaST printer modules installs the software package and everything continues normally for me. Filip Lobik, as far as I understand it, you are asking for an enhancement to deal in a more user-friendly way with that lock and its resulting mutual exclusion. Is my understanding correct? FYI: Filip Lobik, your assumption that it is always required to install new packages to make the first installed scanner work is not true. Very many scanners are supported by the sane-backends package that should be installed by default. But scanners in HP all-in-one devices require the package hplip that is not installed by default. -- 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.

I adapt the bug's subject accordingly. -- 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.
