kupdateapplet lock file?

English Applications
1

Hi All,

I have 11.1 running very nicely on my AMD Phenom system. However, the
updater in the task bar states that the “system is busy” when I try to
run updates. Is there a lock file somewhere that I need to remove? Both,
YOU and zypper have no issues running updates, it is the updater that
loads on startup that is complaining about the updater applet being
busy. I couldn’t find any online documentation for kupdateapplet, so can
someone point me in the right diection to get rid of the “busy”? Thanks
in advance.

Mike,

the applet has an option “Check for updates only when the system is under low load”. Try unchecking it. I had problems with it during the beta.

That makes sense, I’m running BOINC in the background, everything is
always 100% cpu utilization. Thanks. I’ll try that.
