I broke My yum fc6 - metalx - 2007-01-07

I was trying to get firefox to play vids through mplayer plugin and couldn't find my mozilla folder...so I decided to try installing firefox 2.0 so I would know where the folder I needed would be - first problem started here: I couldn't start my browser so i removed what I did and voila! browser works again.

Now I can't get yum or the add/remove app to do anything now add/remove wont even start and yum just displays 'loading "installonlyn" plugin' and it just stays there for as long as I leave it alone. :/

did you try a reboot ?

or as root

Code:
ps aux |grep yum

and then kill the pid with

Code:
kill -9 pid

then retry your yum request

I wouldnt worry about it, yum sometimes gets confused, and when this happens killing the process or restarting the computer usually helps

cheers
