scarecrow Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Either reboot, or delete by hand the lock file. If I can recall well (not using Mandriva anymore) it's named urpmi.lock and its placed in /etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I found this on it: killall urpmi urpmi.update urpme rpm urpmi.addmedia rm /var/lib/urpmi/.LOCK /var/lib/rpm/RPMLOCK The first command will ensure that any urpmi process isn't running. You could always try the second command first and if it fails to remove them, then it would show that a urpmi process is still running. Then you could kill and then remove the files.

ianw1974 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 OK, it seems that the only lock file is /var/lib/urpmi/.LOCK, so you are now OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
