The lock file is in the "data-dir": $ smart config --show data-dir /var/lib/smart But it's a real file lock, so it doesn't remain once the process died.

[opensuse] Smart package manager problem
I asked this question a few days ago but it got no reply, so I am asking again in the hope that someone may know. Smart hosed up (hung, quit, froze, whatever) and I killed it with the kill command. Subsequent launches give the warning that the configuration is read only, even as root. If I use cli (smart --gui --ignore-locks) then it works. I have looked in what I thought were the obvious places for a lock file but I cannot find one. I also searched through the mail list archives and bug reports for Smart to see if anyone else reported the problem but nothing came back. Anyone know where the lock file is hiding?

He's going to ask that next if he makes that far before giving up. That said, to install anything, new Linux user needs to know quite a few things to install software; - to know that you need separate tools to install software - how to install/find that tool - name of the tool to use (let alone the fact that you have many semi-working tools available) - how to use the tool - location of the repositories - some luck that repositories are available and working - name of the software to install (naming of packages and programs are far from obvious quite often) Smart etc are great tools all right, but they really don't help real life home user(s) get going if that is to be desired :/ -- // Janne - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
