Hi How do you get packagekit to quit when you answer Yes to zypper or yast's question asking do you want packagekit to quit so you can use zypper or yast? I've had the software updates widget sitting there with 1254 updates pending but as it does not give you any idea of percentage done progress, i prefer to use zypper or yast (especially as i'm using breeze dark on this user and you cannot even read what is being downloaded or installed.). regards Ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

iirc, it provides a proccess id.

Indeed! A year or more ago, I taboo'ed "apper" in yast2. What a relief.

Typically it delays to shutdown because the current operation should not be stopped, ie, can not be cleanly interrupted. If it has not hung, that is. For instance, if the tool is downloading repository metadata, and you kill it, zypper will have to download it all again. Or if it is writing that information to disk. -- Cheers/Saludos Carlos E. R.

Or if it is writing that information to disk. There should be a suspend and a "carry on from where you left off" option for all downloads especially when in the download phase, it maybe a little more difficult (or impossible) to do once its downloading. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I don't see this feasible unless done by a daemon. Ie, a daemon that does the real job and is not killed. To have the work continued by another, different, application, you need to save the current status to files that can be read by the next application, and this precisely takes time, making "quit" not at instant operation. -- Cheers/Saludos Carlos E.
