Dear All,

I Got this error when i tried this command..........

hanif@hanif-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install samba
Password:
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?

Any help will be appreciated

Thank You.

Is there any packet manager instance running in your box?

hi SMUS

Yes i am running software updates.

and it is downloading 197 updates(Downloading Package files).

Possibly you are getting error because of it. The files that package manager uses directly locked by one instance if you are running second instance you will get this kind of errors.

i have completed all the 197 updates and restarted my Ubuntu box.

please help me in setting LAN with my Win Domain Network

Linux IP is eth0 192.168.2.100 255.255.255.0
XP IP is 192.168.2.101 255.255.255.0

i have not downloaded anything yet as mentioned by you but i will do it right now please help me in this.

Also i have modified my smb.conf file in the /etc/samba folder, which i saw from these help forums

My win network is fine, just i want to add this ubuntu to my windows domain network and use it as normal client.
how can i do this please let me know

Thank you

hi,

usually there two eth adaptors for your box one of them is LO(Loobback) the other one is your physical ethernet adaptor if your LO is not running or not showing 127.0.0.1 you cannot send ICMP packets (ping command) to destination first pls check the adaptors by typing ifconfig -a within your box console. if your loopback adaptor is visible than you must check your default gateway from /etc/network/interfaces .

Pls let me know the results.

lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1

Dear SUMS

Below is the result i got when i entered ifconfig -a

lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
