It has not been a very good week for upgrading my machines. Fortunately I still have a working 10.04 on my laptop and have been able to get work out. But, my old 10.04 desktop machine won't finish loading X, and I managed to bork something related to a lock file on this 12.04 machine while trying to reinstall the ttf-mscorefonts-installer. Here's what I get when I run that command, now: rsteff@Gateway-E-4500D:~/Public$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall ttf-mscorefonts-installer [sudo] password for rsteff: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: kde-l10n-engb kde-l10n-zhcn Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 reinstalled, 0 to remove and 17 not upgraded. 1 not fully installed or removed. E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock directory /var/cache/apt/archives/ rsteff@Gateway-E-4500D:~/Public$ I'll try again after I power down the machine, but probably not until tomorrow. I still have some work to get out. And while I do the work on my laptop I still need to use this machine for a couple of things. Once that project is finished I'll give this another try. -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
