Colline,
You need to use sudo before the command so that you can run it as root Stephen From: Colline Waiswa [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, May 03, 2011 12:21 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [LUG] apt-get issues Hi all, I'm new to Linux, started off with Ubuntu. I tried to install the sun java jdk using sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk. It went on well till the point where it brought up the licence agreement within the terminal. It stalled here as failed to select OK to continue. pressing enter or Y was to no avail. So i restarted the machine but when I try to use apt-get or the ubuntu software to install java jdk or any other software it gives the following error: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? I've tried to do an update n upgrade but it still comes back to the same error. How do I get rid of this error? Colline
