How long will it take to get | all this synched again? | | And amazingly, that error message was copy/pasted from the yum error window. | No idea how long that has been working but thank you very much, Seth & | company! | The KDE stuff I can not help with here. Don't use it. The Yumex failed stuff? Fedora 8 has a 'feature' where that checks every so often, timed or on reboot as I understand it, that checks for updates for you. That sounds like what you are describing. When it is checking installing is not possible. When you deleted the .pid you basically killed this in midstream. Yum clean <your choice> should fix this. - -- ~ David -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (MingW32) iEYEARECAAYFAkeJJC4ACgkQAO0wNI1X4QF75wCcCWTHls0d4xkO8yiZ1S8YzWXc zr0AoLnVGgz8GkhR6oim0oS83Irtg9gd =3uLg -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
