Ubuntu Software

Thanks for the help.

Everything works fine until i get to the installation, which throws:

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?

Thanks,J

This often happens when there's a still running instance of apt being stopped before, i.e you stopped it with Ctrl + C. I've also faced this problem and this is the way I know how to fix it, and if you google for it that would be the first result you'll get.

In a terminal type

Code:

$ sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock

and then

Code:

$ sudo dpkg --configure -a

after that run

Code:

$ sudo apt-get update

and then

Code:

$ sudo apt-get install qucs

Hope this helps!
