{Solved} Yum locked when using Yumex

I am using Yumex on CentOS7 instead of PackageKit. I often receive a message from Yumex:

"Yum is locked: waiting for release. The other application is: PackageKit"

after which Yumex never continues. Is there an easy fix for this situation ? I do not want to use PackageKit which is very poor software.

Code: Select all

killall PackageKit

would that work?

I suspect that if you're not going to use it then removing it would be a better choice. I ran yum remove PackageKit-yum.x86_64 and it didn't look like it was going to do too much damage though I didn't go ahead and do it.

I remove PackageKit on all my dekstops and servers. I don't see any problems from this.
