greetings.
ran a YOU last night on the libretto; got the YOU update, restarted, and took the recommended updates. since then, 45-50 percent of my processor has been consumed by a process which top has named "y2bignfat," which a web search suggests is somehow related to yast.
You needed a web search to tell you that? It's located in /usr/lib/YaST2/bin/y2bignfat and rpm -qf says it's from yast2-base.rpm In fact, y2bignfat *is* yast2. It's the main program. Either you never shut it down, or it didn't die for some other reason.
how do i kill it and make it stay dead?
killall -9 y2bignfat would do it. To make it stay dead I'd have to suggest not running yast2. regards Anders
