add/remove software exception occurred FC6
package manager crashed on first update of a fresh zod install. after saving the report and closing the program python went wild using 100% cpu. after killing it i tried add/remove software and that crashed too. any help in getting this issue resolved would be greatly appreciated.
this is the bug report. i noticed that at the end optional was miss spelled but i'm not sure if that would be the problem or not. Quote:

Haha, i got this to after the last updates!!!
Easy solution. 1. logon as root 2. open a shell 3. yum install digikam takes a little while, and it works like a charm again... Uh well sorry, but after a restart its not working annymore, back to the drawingboard! |
i tried "yum update" to get past the issue, but it didn't work so i reinstalled fedora thinking it was a problem with my install. (great way to waste 6 hrs and learn a little bit more about linux if you're bored):(
anyways does it look like the issue is on my system? as in it can be changed in a log or file, or is it an issue with a repository? (someone mispelled something and now no one can sync to it?) |
getting the same error (or similar)

this also with a clean install - i clicked the bubble that said update and i got the error i also get the error and add/remove any ideas? Also not to sound stupid - but whats a shell, and im only log in as root - is that an issue thanks RL |
shell is the terminal afaik.
and even if you don't log in as root you have to give root password to update so that shouldn't be a problem. i'm starting to think it's a typo in the repository, but updating with yum works fine it's only the gui interfaces that cause the problems on my system. |
sorry im a complete linux newbie
i shall look around thanks RL Edit ahh i have found it :) running now thanks |
well i don't know what changed but it started working. so everyone who's had this problem try to use add/remove and see if it works now. :)

nvm problem came back after reboot. does anyone know what's going on or possibly how to fix it?
