"update status" is not running, the only package management related processes seem to be one or two "parse-metadata" processes and a "zypp-checkpatch" process. Each takes at least 10% CPU. The KDE updater applet forever is in the status "Checking for updates", and even the YAST package management stuff is unusable as another process is allegedly accessing the package database.
I don't know if it's related, but I just noticed that my /var/tmp-drawer has been completely filled up with files called "TmpFile.*" owned by root.root or root.users, all dating from no longer than two days ago. (Even a "rm Tmp*" does not work - too many arguments - a completely new experience ;). The drawer is really full!) As I mostly toyed around with the package management in this time, I thought these load of temporary files might have something to do with it. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
