Are you sure you followed the instructions exactly because I just did this two seconds ago:

Do you happen to have Synaptic Package Manager open when you're doing the apt-get update?

well actualy that "another process is process using it?", was synamptic running, but have treied without it also, still the same mesage ecept the "another process is process using it?", i was trying to copy the error message

As far as I can see your problem is with name resolution.

Make sure you can resolve the names (or hardcode them temporarily in /etc/hosts) and that you can ping/wget from said hosts.

$ host security.ubuntu.com
security.ubuntu.com has address 82.211.81.138

$ host archive.ubuntu.com
archive.ubuntu.com has address 82.211.81.182
archive.ubuntu.com has address 82.211.81.151
