Netcenterinc NNTP User SUSE 11.0 another process is accessing the package database Newbie to Linux. Fresh 11.0 install. Yast is generating "another process is accessing the package database". Searched and reviewed all the suggestions on Google and here reference other processes maintaining access to the repositories. Renamed /var/cache/zypp to /var/cache/zypp-old and rebooted. Worked great, just needed to re-build repositories and insert CD. No other package management processes seemed to be running. Problem returned today. So I e: sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) killed packagekitd and ran Yast. Works good again. What app is owner of packagekitd? And what should I do to clean this up? Thanks in advance for the newbie help!

Looked all over the place for config settings. You know us Windows guys. It's gota be visual. GRIN! Anyway, finally got a dialogue from the system advising that updates were available. Right clicked this in the tray area and it offered settings. No more auto updates. Without the system alert, tracking down the config settings, for updates, was a real hassle. Oh well, time to research and learn how to do this via the shell so I don't get burned again. Ya gota love newbies in training. GRIN! Take care and thanks for the help.....

Package management cannot be used now. I killed the software updater that sits in the system tray, to no avail, and I can't think of anything else that would be accessing the 'package database'. As I say, I'm new to OpenSUSE, so I may be missing something completely obvious.
