Yumex Problems - Fails
fedora 18 / KDE
I have problems starting Yumex, something about backend not running. Yum runs normal doing installs or updates. Nothing shows up in /var/log/yum or var/log/messages when yumex FAILS. $ yumex -d 15:20:52 : INFO - Using config file : /home/jim/.config/yumex/yumex.conf 15:20:52 : INFO - Using config file : /home/jim/.config/yumex/yumex.conf 15:20:52 : DEBUG - Current Yumex Settings: 15:20:52 : DEBUG - autorefresh: True 15:20:52 : DEBUG - branding_title: 'Yum Extender' 15:20:52 : DEBUG - bugzilla_url: 'https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=' 15:20:52 : DEBUG - color_downgrade: 'goldenrod' 15:20:52 : DEBUG - color_install: 'darkgreen' 15:20:52 : DEBUG - color_normal: 'black' 15:20:52 : DEBUG - color_obsolete: 'blue' 15:20:52 : DEBUG - color_update: 'red' 15:20:52 : DEBUG - debug: True 15:20:52 : DEBUG - disable_netcheck: False 15:20:52 : DEBUG - disable_repo_page: False 15:20:52 : DEBUG - history_limit: 15 15:20:52 : DEBUG - no_gpg_check: False 15:20:52 : DEBUG - plugins: True 15:20:52 : DEBUG - proxy: '' 15:20:52 : DEBUG - recentdays: 14 15:20:52 : DEBUG - remove_requirements: False 15:20:52 : DEBUG - repo_exclude: ['debug', 'source'] 15:20:52 : DEBUG - show_newest_only: True 15:20:52 : DEBUG - skip_broken: False 15:20:52 : DEBUG - typeahead_search: False 15:20:52 : DEBUG - use_sortable_view: False 15:20:52 : DEBUG - use_sudo: False 15:20:52 : DEBUG - win_height: 494 15:20:52 : DEBUG - win_sep: 300 15:20:52 : DEBUG - win_width: 1000 15:20:52 : DEBUG - yum_conf: '/etc/yum.conf' 15:20:52 : DEBUG - yumdebuglevel: 2 15:20:53 : DEBUG - network interface wlan0 (rtl8188eu) is connected 15:20:53 : DEBUG - network interface wlan0 (rtl8188eu) is connected 15:20:54 : INFO - Connected to an network 15:20:54 : DEBUG - Getting package lists - BEGIN <yumexgui.populate_package_cache> 15:20:54 : DEBUG - network interface wlan0 (rtl8188eu) is connected 15:20:54 : INFO - Starting yum child process 15:20:54 : DEBUG - Initialize yum backend - BEGIN <yum_backend.setup> 15:20:54 : DEBUG - Setup START <yum_backend.setup> 15:21:08 : ERROR - ERROR: Fatal Error : backend-not-running 15:21:08 : ERROR - ERROR: Backend not running as expected Yum Extender will terminate --> exit code : None 15:21:08 : DEBUG - Quiting the program !!! <yum_backend.quit> 15:21:08 : INFO - yum backend process is ended 15:21:08 : DEBUG - Backend reset completed <yum_backend.quit> 15:21:08 : DEBUG - Quiting the program !!! <yum_backend.quit> 15:21:08 : INFO - yum backend process is ended 15:21:08 : DEBUG - Backend reset completed <yum_backend.quit> Program Terminated [jim@localhost ~]$ |
you need to run it as root , and not as a normal user
Code:
su - |
su -
yumex won't run, it tells you it cannot be run as root. It tells you to run command; yumex --root #to force it to run and that is the only way it will run. |
Try forcing as root. Login as root at the command-line, then:
Code:
yumex --root |
That is what I said in my previous Post.

Oops.
