Sorry for brevity yesterday. Here's the longer version. The problem with PackageKit ignoring the quit request has been there for years, I don't know if there ever was a pull request or bug report, but the "Today I win the PackageKit game" is utter sarcasm, that was shared by many other users... And my solution: zypper rm PackageKit discover discover6 zypper al PackageKit discover discover6 (on Tumbleweed) is the only one I know of that permanently fixes the problem (other than CTRL- C, killall -9 PackageKit and 'zypper dup' again. I've had many situations where dependencies led to an install and activation of PackageKit and a fail of the updates or similar. Mostly I noticed that because of discover and the annoying "Updates available" notification in the status bar. Maybe this is how it's meant to be on other SUSE variants, but it here on our systems it never worked in a way that we could live with, so the two commands above fixed the problem permanently. Oh, and the other locks (a total of 5 or 6) on my systems concern packages like abiword or gnumeric that I don't use but which have been adding themselves on top of the application/mime type list, so that a .ods or .doc file wasn't opened with my favorite tool (libreoffice) anymore. So the quickest and safest solution for me was 'zypper al gnumeric abiword'. I don't need them, and personally I think adding yourself ON TOP of the application list is not very polite... Thus on any new system I install , the command zypper rm PackageKit discover discover6 abiword gnumeric && zypper al PackageKit discover discover6 abiword gnumeric has been added to my personal post-install script... I know it's personalization. Am Freitag, 20. Dezember 2024, 04:08:34 Mitteleuropäische Normalzeit schrieb - pj via openSUSE Users:
