I had Windows and Ubuntu dual-booted on my computer, installed Ubuntu to
the wrong partition, and then ended up crashing both operating systems.
I bought a CD drive online. To use it, i needed an operating system. So
I installed Fedora 9 off of a USB Drive, and no I replaced that with
OpenSUSE 11.1
Anyway, Whenever I try to Add/Remove programs, it will try and boot
itself up, then I get an error message saying-
“System Management is locked by the application with pid 4345
(/usr/lib/YaST2/bin/y2base). Close the application before trying
again.”
Is this particular application conflicting with old
windows/fedora/ubuntu files? I found out I still have some from my D
drive.
On another note, how can I make OpenSUSE use all of my hard drive
space? I noticed its on a seperate partition.

oh. I thought it did it for me. It says I have all my hard drive space.
but I did reinstall it, and it asked me to unmount some of the
partitions, so maybe thats why,
And for the y2base, i just tried typing the kill and rebooting will not
work, it just says a different pid.
I had the same problem regarding application management being locked and
suspected that it was the Updater Applet. I let the applet search for
updates and once it found the updates and notified me, I went back to
the application management via YaST and the error didn’t show up
anymore.
