[opensuse] Help! I've awakened a monster.
I downloaded the 11.3 x86_64 dvd for my wife's computer late last week. I clicked on kget, then noticed the torrent and decided to go with ktorrent, which went perfectly -- I got the whole dvd downloaded, and then in the course of a couple of days shared to the 1.3 seeder level (or whatever it's called). Fine. But ever since then, I get two popups every few minutes from kget, "Download failed, no working URLs were found". I click OK on both, and it goes away for a few minutes. Then it pops up again. I tried closing it from the taskbar and killing the process directly using "ps -e". After this, no process naming kget shows in the list until the popups come again. And they do come again. Rebooting hasn't helped; kill hasn't helped. It won't start up from the menu. How can I get rid of this thing?

Does kget have to do with torrents?
yes, I thought you said that you killed "kget". You should. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I did -- in several different ways. before asking on the list. It keeps resurrecting itself. As I said before, I've tried: click "OK" on both popups (it disappears both from the taskbar and ps close from the taskbar (same) kill the process by its ID umber from ps (same) start from the menu while the popups are pending (won't start) start from the menu in the brief interval between killing and resurrection (still won't start) No matter what I do, it comes back.

I havent used kget in a while. but can it be it spawns a control daemon of some sort that reopens kget after the timeout? The daemon finds that kget isnt running, and thus restarts it?

Find the kget binary and rename it, some one will complain >:-) There is also a trick using AA that can be used to forbid an arbitrary program from running (and it is logged). I think it was Cristian R. who posted it once, but I don't have that post available right now. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 11.2 x86_64 "Emerald" GM (Elessar))

Well, it's been gone for three days now. All I did was let it sit there for a day or so and work around the popups. I don't remember whether I acknowledged them or not, but I noticed a couple of days ago that I hadn't seen them for quite a while. Thanks, Patrick and Rikard, for trying to help. jp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
