    [SOLVED] Add/Remove software help

    In add/remove software, there is nothing under the filter or system tabs, and when I search for something, it gives me this error:

    Code:
    cannot start daemon: cannot GetTid: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1
    If there is another thread addressing this, a link would be appreciated.

    Execute this
    Code:
    su -
yum update
    Post error message here, if any.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    I've tried this before, I get dependency issues:

    Code:
    PackageKit-yum-0.3.9-4.fc10.x86_64 from installed has depsolving problems
  --> Missing Dependency: PackageKit = 0.3.9-4.fc10 is needed by package PackageKit-yum-0.3.9-4.fc10.x86_64 (installed)

    It looks like conflicting sources.
    Execute this
    Code:
    ls /etc/yum.repos.d
    Post output here.

    Keep these repo files only and move other files to somewhere else.
    Code:
    adobe-linux-i386.repo        
fedora.repo                  
fedora-updates.repo
rpmfusion-free-updates.repo
rpmfusion-nonfree.repo
rpmfusion-nonfree-updates.repo

    Nope, still broken. I also took out the other rpmfusions to see, since I just got those recently, but I still don't have a list or anything in filer/system.

    Actually, I put all the repos back to /etc/yum.repos.d to get new codecs, and my software add/remove program is fixed. And I can play videos now. So problem solved...somehow. Yay Linux. Thanks.
