I'm using an old version of OpenSUSE and when I try to update some package via the command line, e.g. 

Zypper update firefox

it shows the message listed below.

System management is locked by the application with pid 2181(/usr/sbin/packagekitd).
Close this application before trying again.

You already have a Zypper instance running, that's what the error message is telling you. Just kill the other process and try again:

sudo kill 2181

If that doesn't work try

sudo kill -9 2181
