All such applications must be closed before using this command. helper

Could you please advise me how to i go about solving it. Thank you.

Hi,

this message means that another software installation program is
running. Perhaps you have YaST's running. Please close this window and
opensSUSE Updater should work.

Please let me know when you have any questions.



I have found that while it may occur when Yast software management or
update are running, closing them does not clear the error. I've only
been able to clear it by logging out and back in again.


Right click on the icon and then click on check now.
