The window "Retrieving update information" is not responding
I'm a newbie using Fedora Core 6. When trying Applications-->System Tools-->Software Updater, I get the window "Retrieving Update Information", then the status bar freezes after it's about half done. I click to close the window and get "The window 'Retrieving update Information' is not responding". Thanks for any help!

Oh yes, if this is a fresh install, it will be examining all of your system. That could easily take well over 15 minutes.
If you get impatient, you can do this: - disable the auto-updater by going to Desktop > Admin > Services and stopping the the updates daemon (=just for now) or disabling it (=permanently). - open up a terminal (Applications > Accesssories > Terminal - sign in as root: su - [root password] - request a check for updates: yum check-update If you actually want to install all of those updates, you type yum -y update |

Thanks, wayno and jay. I paqtiently waited for Software Updater but ended up getting an error message, so i tried disabling yum updatesd as jay suggested and running the command from the console. That seems to have worked.
