A while ago, I got this error:
Accessing the Software Management Failed
System management is locked by the application with pid 17730 (/usr/lib/YaST2/bin/y2base).
Close this application before trying again.
Would you like to abort or try again?
[Retry] [Abort]
What happened is that a terminal session that had YaST open got disconnected (don’t you love WiFi) while checking for updates.
I tried to re-login and re-check for updates and got this error.
Looking for process 17730 indeed revealed it was YaST:
snap:~ # ps 17730
PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND
17730 pts/0 Sl+ 0:11 /usr/lib/YaST2/bin/y2base online_update ncurses
A simple kill would get rid of that process:
sudo kill 17730
–jeroen
via: yast locked.
