If you are on Ubuntu server, you may check whether you have unattended upgrades enabled by checking the content of the file /etc/apt//20auto-upgrades.
Ubuntu may install security updates in background Use this command: ps aux | grep -i aptįor me, it showed this output: :~$ ps aux | grep -i apt If none of the above is happening, check which other process is running the apt command (package manager for handling software).
If there is no such application running, please check all the open terminal windows and see if you are running an update or installing a program. If that’s the case, please wait for the program to finish the running process.
If you are using command line, check if an application like Software Center, Software Updater, Synaptic package manager, Gdebi is running any update/installation. The first thing you should do is to check if some other program could be running system update or installing a program. Let’s see what steps can you take to fix this issue of ‘unable to lock administration directory’. This locking is done so that two processes don’t change the content at the same time as it may lead to unwarranted situation and a possible broken system. When a command or application is updating the system or installing a new software, it locks the dpkg file (Debian package manager). You see this error because some other program is trying to update Ubuntu. Fixing “Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/)” error These errors are very similar to another common Ubuntu error, Unable to lock directory /var/cache/apt/archives/, and the interesting thing is that the fixes are similar as well. Goodbye Macintosh r.i.Could Not Get Lock Error in Ubuntu Software Center when we really were in the need of it?īut maybe its the way it must be, apple anyway now sux, no more macpros, shortly no more system either, just a stupid tablet with a shining interface and so on. Why you dindn't offer the same many years ago. It becomes so boring to see all these win developers Most of times you just need to read the Manual!!! So thaks daemon and all others winblows publishers for your interest on mac, but PLEASE if you like mac just buy it, DONT feel in the need to keep your OLD custumers which moved to mac by offering (i mean trying to keep em all anyways) services they dont have anymore, toast as its exactly the same, and the rest is for all the others applications i've seen during these years. specificalli for nero you just need to change the extension to. titanium can handle a large variety of images, as cue nrg etc. then Titanium (maybe all winblows users coming to ac doesnt know, so please instead of dreaming of all s*i*s you have on microsoft try to learn the best you can all possibilities a mac can offer). Why in the world a mac user would ever have the need of this?Īll images mostly are dmg and we can very well handle that as well all other formats around as it has been since os9, plus the majority of all the formats DT offers are winblows and never will come on mac.
