Hello,

I run fedora 10.
When I start X (as a regular user), after some minutes there is a process that start automatic (yumBackend.py, I find this when I do "su -c 'ps -A'")
This process blocks the use of yumex.
I have to kill forst this process (kill -9 pid) before I can use yumex.

Can someone explain me how I can stop the autostart of this process ?

(I "service configuration" I do not find this service running. I only find "yum-cron, but is is red, = disabled)

When I do "find / -iname yumB* I get as result
/usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py

thanks,

chipotphe

Yum automatically checks for avail updates on a regular basis. The anacron service checks at boot to see if any such procs in cron should have been run. If so it waits a while, then starts the proc(s) so that the system is up to date eg makes the db for the locate cmd to use, runs yum checker etc etc....
Try reading the man page

man anacron
