To find out, which programs are running, you can use
pgrep. I'm not quite sure, what we'll be looking for, so use
That means:
pgrep : find running processes
-l : show their names, not only their process IDs
-u root : show those of the user
root (as software updates have to be done with root privileges)
You could also run
to check, if yum is running. (If not successful, you might also want to check for
pirut and
pup.)
If any of these is running, you can try to kill them with
- su
-
pkill <process name>
-
exit
or
- su
-
kill <proccess id>
-
exit
Then try installing again.

No need to feel bad about that. Everyone needs help sometimes and the newer you are to something, the more you still have to find out! :-)
