Hi there, (i'm new to Linux)
I'm just running through the manual and i followed the procedure to install updates however i'm getting the following error:
============ Log ===========
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), is another process using it?
Also, when i go to open Install/Remove Software now i get ' unable to get exclusive lock'.
It seems that another package management program is running, but nothing is appearing on my desktop. I looked at Task Manager but nothing appears to be there apart from 'FireFox (and four file under that) and Task Manager (and many files under that).
Cheers
Daniel
