From journalctl - I see packagekit running every 10 minutes. When I attempt a zypper up or zypper dup (tumbleweed), I get
Code:
Ask PackageKit to quit? [yes/no] (no): no System management is locked by the application with pid 17101 (/usr/lib/packagekitd). Close this application before trying again.
which is annoying. How can I get packagekit to only run once an hour instead of 6 times an hour.
Packagekit is server that is activated on client request. Clients are usually desktop applications. Find out what application triggers packagekit.
I know it has to be started with packagekitd but no man page for packagekitd
Telcontar:~ # rpm -qfl /usr/lib/packagekitd | grep usr/share/man /usr/share/man/man1/pkcon.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/pkmon.1.gz Telcontar:~ #
Code:
VM1:/etc/systemd # man packagekitd No manual entry for packagekitd VM1:/etc/systemd # man packagekit No manual entry for packagekit VM1:/etc/systemd #
Anyone know where - I see this as excessive bandwidth and rather wasteful as few if any of us look to see if an update is ready that often.
This would reduce overhead on the repositories if they were queried fewer times an hour.
Telcontar:~ # rpm -qfl /usr/lib/packagekitd | grep systemd /usr/lib/systemd/system/packagekit-background.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/packagekit-background.timer
That is one possibility, but even those units are normally disabled by default.
/usr/lib/systemd/system/packagekit.service Telcontar:~ #
Telcontar:~ # systemctl cat packagekit-background.timer # /usr/lib/systemd/system/packagekit-background.timer [Unit] Description=Systemd timer to update the system daily with PackageKit
[Timer] OnCalendar=daily AccuracySec=12h Persistent=true Unit=packagekit-background.service
[Install] WantedBy=timers.target Telcontar:~ #
That's on Leap.
