I have Fedora 9/KDE 4.0.5 and have used yum to get the latest updates! Now some mysterious "software update" system is updating! For example: One morning I woke up and I got a new kernel all of a sudden! 2.6.25.14-108.fc9.i686 I have looked everywhere to find a dialog to shut off this software updater! Once such a dialog appeared and I selected NOT to make updates. This didn't help! I have found (logged in as root) settings->software updates dialog where I set everything to "do nothing" I looked in system services and yumupdatesd or yum-updatesd does not appear! I did find this out! ps -ef|grep -i package root 15885 1 0 13:55 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/packagekitd landon4 15891 2711 0 13:59 pts/1 00:00:00 grep -i package [landon4@localhost Timer]$ so something is running! Thanks! under settings->software updates I found a dialog that set "update" settings for some facility I've never heard of! I suspect this sneaked in about 2-4 weeks ago! I noticed something running this morning! I have set everything to do nothing so I'll see what happens! I have had empty yum updates for a while now! I did do the script: yum clean all yum clean metadata yum clean dbcache yum update still yum update yields nothing I brought up the software updates dialog and set updates to all updates/hourly/notify perhaps the package kit "add on" changed everything ______________________________________________________________ Is anybody getting yum updates in the last 2 weeks??? _________________________________________________________________ Talk to your Yahoo!
