Re: Yumex-dnf won't run due to some lock

Thanks for your reply ... However, /var/cache/dnf/metadata_lock.pid does not exist; if there was a dnf lock file, I would have expected it to prevent the 'dnf install ...' which I ran w/o problem. Also, there do not appear to be any relevant *.pid files in /var/run. DW On 10/16/2015 4:58 AM,

Fedora 22 upgrade oddity

Using "fedup", I upgraded from F20 to F21 and a few weeks later to F22. The F22 upgrade resulted in a couple of problems, one of which I'll describe here. After the F22 upgrade, the boot would hang at an early stage. I could still boot F21. Eventually I discovered that dracut was encountering

Got the machine for a while. Funnily while F22 USB stick was detected it seems F23 beta is not. The SSD controller is a NVMExpress. Does anyone has ever tried that? Thank you. Fred On 09/08/2015 09:52 AM, Frederic Muller wrote: > Hi! > > Totally agree with you but it's not like I had a choice.

Re: Yumex-dnf won't run due to some lock - solved, sort of

Well, the problem still exists that, when you exit normally from yumex-dnf, something is often left in a state that blocks starting it again. But, I've just found that running: yumex-dnf --exit will "tell session dbus services used by yumex to exit" and seems to remove the lock preventing the
