I see this message in /var/log/messages over.. and over... and over. I saw a red hat bugzilla forum from fedora 15 on up talking about this with no resolution.. Is there a resolution??
the messages say: Apr 6 11:10:12 pauls-server dbus[871]: [system] Activating via systemd: service name='org.freedesktop.PackageKit' unit='packagekit.service' Apr 6 11:10:12 pauls-server dbus[871]: [system] Successfully activated service 'org.freedesktop.PackageKit' Apr 6 11:10:12 pauls-server systemd: Starting PackageKit Daemon...

If your unsure and you cannot assign a value to doing something in this situation then I would suggest you leave well enough alone.

Try it to see.
Just don't pass -y to yum so you can elect to cancel, if you don't like the dependent packages being removed.

If it helps, I don't have it installed and don't miss it. I use yumex every morning to keep my system updated, and for most of my package management tasks. (There are some times that using yum from a CLI is easiest, especially if you know exactly what package you want to install/remove.)

thanks. I did remove it. I always do a yum update every morning anyway. If I find something I can't do, I can always reinstall. what is yumex?? no man page for it..

Yumex is a very convenient GUI front end for yum.
so I run it as root, and it says not to.. but you can't install/update/remove packages without being root.. what am I missing??

PackageKit is system activated and quits when not being used to save CPU/memory etc. See /etc/PackageKit/PackageKit.conf to control this.

You should probably look at your "sessions" preference, or whatever it's called in the desktop that you're using.
It controls what things are started up each time you log in. In my case, it involved a lot of things I didn't need, or couldn't use (package kit checking for program updates, non-existent bluetooth hardware, et cetera). Sometimes, uninstalling things causes you problems, because they want to take out a lot of other things, too. But, you can nearly always stop those things from being run, without unwanted extra problems cropping up.

In my MATE desktop that would be under System-Preferences-Personal-Startup applications ( I think that is what you mean).. it shows a few duplicates, 2 screensavers's 1 mate 1 xscreensaver.. 2 Power Management apps, 1 Mate, 1 xfce4.. is that because I have both Mate & XFCE4 installed?
