Hello Brian, Thanks for your quick respons. I was abroad so had no time unitl now to try and resolve below issue. I did the "sudo apt-get clean" in terminal mode but I still get a message that there are 'gebroken pakketten' (=broken packages). The message in dutch is (bold) *De afhankelijkheden van de volgende pakketten konden niet geïnstalleerd worden: linux-image-generic: Depends: linux-image-2.6.38-11-generic maar het is niet geïnstalleerd * translated it says: the following packages could not be installed. It advices to do 'APT-GET INSTALL -f " in terminal mode . I did it and got below message (bold). This was also the (error) message I got when the problems started with the packages update a little bit more than a week ago: *anton@ubuntu:~$ apt-get install -f* *E: Kon het vergrendelingsbestand '/var/lib/dpkg/lock' niet openen - open (13: Toegang geweigerd)* *E: Kan de beheersmap (/var/lib/dpkg/) niet vergrendelen. Heeft u beheerdersrechten?* *anton@ubuntu:~$ * It seems it cannot lock the mentioned map or file and asks if I have the rights (permisions) to do so.
I get the impression it is not a SAMBA related issue but has something to do with the kernel of linux. I installed xubuntu as asecond OS (still have Windows-XP running on the HP-pavilion too). I hope you can help me. if not I will remove Xubuntu totally and install it again. met vriendelijke groet, Anton van den Hoeven 2011/8/27 Brian Murray <br...@ubuntu.com> > Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make > Ubuntu better.
