Hello all:
I have disabled zmd (novell-zmd) in YaST/System/System services. Since that I alway get an error message when I login to my kde desktop. The message window is titled "Software updater error" and it says: "zmd does not appear to be running". This is normal since zmd is disabled but I would like to get rid of this message popping up again and again. I've checked the kde control center/kde components/service manager whether I can turn off something related to zmd but I could not find what to turn off (if there is something there at all).
How could I get rid of this message and disable software updater for my kde session?
Go Start/System/Yast Control Centre/System/System Services (Runlevels) and switch off Novell-zmd.
I have done that and I still get the same error message as the OP.
Just a suggestion: is it still running even though you have disabled it in System Services? Did you reboot after disabling it? Does it show up if you (as root) issue the command 'ps aux' (without the quotes)?
No, he has already succesfully disabled the zmd service. If he hadn't, there wouldn't be an error! The remaining wrinkle (and I have it too) is that the small updater application, that sticks an icon in the system tray, is still being run on login. It looks for the disable zmd service, can't find it, and throws up an error. When you click OK in the dialogue the program terminates. I've had a quick hunt for the bloody thing starting it up, but it's hiding somewhere in my filesystem, keeping its head down. It's not a critical problem, it just looks untidy and is rather irritating. -- Steve Boddy -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
