Colline, You need to use sudo before the command so that you can run it as

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
