Trying to use Yast to install this Citrix RPM I have. I right click the icon and it bring up the Yast software installer like it should..... then it says that yast is in use by another process. I looked for any other Yast like process with top and couldn't find anything. What other processes do I have to watch for??? -- Andy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hello Andrew, Andrew Syrewicze napsal(a):

Trying to use Yast to install this Citrix RPM I have. I right click the icon and it bring up the Yast software installer like it should..... then it says that yast is in use by another process.

I looked for any other Yast like process with top and couldn't find anything. What other processes do I have to watch for???

Look at /var/log/YaST2/y2log, the PID of the process should be logged there. -- Best Regards Ladislav Slezák Yast Developer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: lslezak@suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 960 190 00 Prague 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

YaST does single click selection. So if you bring up YaST and then double click on the Software->Software Management icon, that's exactly what happens. You get one instance, and then the second one complains. Happens to me all the time. -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:jdarnold@buddydog.org) Daemon Dancing in the Dark, an Open OS weblog: http://freebsd.amazingdev.com/blog/ UNIX is user-friendly.

Mac has been a single button, single click (I think forever) and it works great. We now typically have 3-5 button mice with balls and scroll wheels... nothing needs to be double-clicked IMO. </rant> -- Kind regards, M Harris <>< -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Bull. Macs have been able to use any USB mouse made by Logitech, Microsoft and any other hardware maker since OS X 10.0 and *seven* years later it still can and most Mac's have shipped with multi- button mice for at least 2 years. This is like saying there is no software for Linux and no one uses Linux .. it's a myth.

Funny, I know what each button on my 9 button Logitech mouse does when it's connected to my Macbook Pro .. and oddly enough it's the same mouse I've had attached to my laptops since I got my Titanium Powerbook in 2003. :D I guess we who use Mac's don't need to know more then click.. click.. to get our UNIX terminal windows open to ssh to our Linux and Solaris servers. ;D *laugh* Windows people talk shit about Linux people and Linux people talk shit about Mac users .. it SO reminds me of one sect of Christians talking trash about another sect. - Ben -- "We should forgive our enemies.

Nah. I knew that one of the statements was just being silly .. the other one .. I dunno. My reply was tinged with sarcasm though. :D Just me being me.
