I have problems starting Yumex, something about backend not running.
Yum runs normal doing installs or updates
i am not up on yum or yumex other than to say that
_yumex_ is the _front_end_ to _yum_ the _back_end_.
therefore, have you looked at
/var/log/yum.log?
when yumex gives problems

is telling you that _yum_ has stopped.
not much to offer, but something to do because you do not mention
if you have checked it. possibly something goes wrong when yum is
run thru extender.
hth until better help comes along. :=)
much luck.
When running Yumex, and it Fails, nothing shows up in /var/log/yum.log.
Nothing shows up about Yumex Failed in /var/log/messages.
Yumex runs yum as a backend...so the yumex.conf file must have
use_sudo=1 in it. Its located on my 19 system as $HOME/.config/yumex
On my system sudo is configured to give root access without a
password. YMMV.

I put the use_sudo=1 in the first line of ~/.config/yumex and then I
ran yumex as user and got this Error message;
[jim@localhost Desktop]$ yumex
16:05:16 : INFO - Using config file : /home/jim/.config/yumex/yumex.conf
//snip//
But I found out that if I run Yumex as SU by using this command, "yumex
--root" it will force it to run.
