It could be the software updater (not sure what it is called in kubuntu) , apt-get or aptitude in the command line, gnome-app-install (add/remove programs), update-manager or synaptic if you have those gnome programs installed. If you're sure you don't have any programs doing any kind of installation/updating (maybe by rebooting just to be sure, or scanning through the output of "ps -aux | less" and killing relevent programs) you can remove the lock by running "rm /var/cache/apt/archives/lock" in the terminal. dsas -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
