[opensuse] zmd update status
I was just trying to do a few things on my laptop (centrino duo 2GHz/2GB RAM/160G 7200RPM HDD) and noticed things were running really slow. I couldn't update web pages, my CD ripping went way slow, and NetBeans was taking forever to load an app. I hit CTRL+ESC to see what was going on and noticed a process was taking up 78% of system resources and 36% of user resources. I killed it and things got instantly better. The process was zmd update-status. What's that? I googled it, thinking it might be the cursed Zen Updater, but I know I removed zmd-daemon. I wonder if it could be this? http://en.opensuse.org/Libzypp/ZMD/ZMD7.1/helpers/update-status What could this be and how do I get rid of it? kai ponte www.perfectreign.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Are you sure you removed the package zmd? If you did, then the helper should not run at all since it's only called from zmd.

Did you remove the complete zmd pattern in YaST? The helpers are in the package libzypp-zmd-backend - and those are only called from zmd itself.

Cool! I didn't know this zyp/zmd thing wasn't necessary, so every time I logged on I've been living with this annoying crash dialog filled with a mile of java-esque blather describing something in zmd not running. I removed everything that said zmd in the name and now life is good again. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

There are two software management patterns in the dialog - you can choose either of it, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Director Platform/openSUSE, aj@suse.de SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

If you want to be on the safe side and still be spared the resource usage of zmd, you could just remove zmd from the list of processes to be started on boot, via the yast runlevel editor. (or just type 'chkconfig -d novell-zmd'; rczmd stop) Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Add yast2-registration and suseRegister to the rpm -e command. Stop adding packages to the rpm -e command when you recognize one you want to keep :)
