Edit the /usr/share/postgresql83/postgresql.conf.sample file and change the silent_mode setting to 'on' and uncomment the line.
Delete the /var/opt/novell/arkmanager/data folder with: rm -r /var/opt/novell/arkmanager/data/
Delete the 'arkuser' user and 'arkuser_pggrp' group in YaST > User and Group Management. To see 'arkuser' the filter will need to be set to System User and to System Group to see 'arkuser_pggrp' on the Group tab.
