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
Re: Yum locked when using Yumex
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.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Re: Yum locked when using Yumex
I remove PackageKit on all my dekstops and servers. I don't see any problems from this.
