Packagekit is kind of new as compared with yum.
I do all my update work with yum and do not run packagekitd,
nor do I use the packagekit cli interface.

<pre wrap=""><!---->
As far as I know, packagekit appears to be running on its own.
I did not request it or start it.
In the past, (KDE 3) I also only used yum for updates.
Apparently pakagekit is some new default update ap for KDE 4 ?
I would like to get rid of it or at least shut it down. If it was a cron job
or a system service, that might be easy, but I dont know what starts it
up when I log in.
Thanks,
Jim

Check to see if you have /usr/sbin/packagekitd<br>
<br>
and then issue the command:<br>
<br>
grep kit /etc/init.d/*<br>
<br>
If any file contains it, then it is being started by that file.<br>
To stop it, <br>
1. CLick on SYstem icon -> Administration -> services<br>
<br>
It will ask you for the root password.<br>
<br>
2. Once the gui comes up (in my FC11, it takes it a while!)<br>
search for the package kit line. <br>
3. Click on that like once to highlight it.<br>
4. Click on Disable - which is near the top of the GUI.<br>
5. Click on Stop to kill the daemon.<br>
6. Click on Program (at top of GUI) and Quit.<br>
<br>
You are done!<br>
it will not bother you again.<br>
<br>
Now it would be good if (using the same GUI) you enabled the YUM
updates daemon<br>
before quitting. I think Yum is a proven tool and will not give the
headaches you are<br>
experiencing.<br>
<br>
