Hi,
Synaptic Pkg Manager recommended i ran this command. nnjond@nnjond-desktop:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a [sudo] password for nnjond: Setting up libgdata1.4-cil (1.4.0.2-3) ... * Installing 14 assemblies from libgdata1.4-cil into Mono ....nothing 's happened for 15 minutes? |
Seems that you are on Ubuntu Box.
try out: $sudo apt-get install <packagename> $sudo aptitude install <packagename> Am always happy with these command as it clearly displays me the package being installed. |
Thanks for your interest.
As Much as I understand you this happen... nnjond@nnjond-desktop:~$ $sudo apt-get install Banshee E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? |
Hi,
Do you have another instance of a package manager open? Maybe Synaptic is running or not closed properly? Check with Code:
ps -aux Eric |
nnjond@nnjond-desktop:~$ ps -aux
Warning: bad ps syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See http://procps.sf.net/faq.html USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND root 1 0.0 0.0 2792 1524 ?

As Eric pointed out, it seems you have some other package manager running. To find it please try running the following command.
Code:
ps aux | grep -E 'dpkg|apt|synaptic' Evo2. |
nnjond@nnjond-desktop:~$ ps aux | grep -E 'dpkg|apt|synaptic'
root 2290 0.0 0.3 9020 6104 ? S 05:15 0:00 dpkg --configure -a root 2291 0.0 0.0 1828 512 ? S 05:15 0:00 /bin/sh /var/lib/dpkg/info/libgdata1.4-cil.postinst configure nnjond 3626 0.0 0.0 3328 896 pts/1 S+ 09:30 0:00 grep --color=auto -E dpkg|apt|synaptic nnjond@nnjond-desktop:~$ |
Ok, so you have "dpkg --configure -a" running somewhere. It is probably waiting for input from you: Eg. waiting for you to press "y". If you can't find the terminal where it is running you can kill it using:
Code:
sudo kill 2290 HTH, Evo2. |
Hello nnjond,
Can you confirm that you've got a solution to your problem? If so, please close this thread marking it as solved with the Thread tools. Kind regards, Eric |
