Hi, I've actually just installed LXLE, but that wasn't in the prefix list. I was installing dropbox and calibre via the software centre when it just suddenly hung there. Restarted the PC, same thing. Tried to update and software said it wanted to do a partial upgrade where it preceded to download dropbox, gets to 100% and hangs at clean up. I have the same errors as this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1858466 but when it talks about entering keys and what the user did to fix it I'm lost. I've just switched from windows. Please take pity and post a step by step. Thanks.

Hi, I've actually just installed LXLE, but that wasn't in the prefix list.

Thats because LXLE is not an official ubuntu flavor, its built on ubuntu. Should of posted here: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=452

What version did you install (12.04 or 14.04)?

You say that your getting the same errors as in another old post is not the way to go. Please post the errors you are getting. Use code tags if necessary. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2171721&p=12776168#post12776168 This way you can get an exact fix to your exact problem.

Please take pity and post a step by step.

Ok, welcome to the forums :)

Hi ibjsb4,

Thanks for replying.


What version did you install (12.04 or 14.04)?

12.04

Error after trying to run software manager to install dropbox then opening update manager after installation didn't start after root password was entered.

It is impossible to install or remove any software right now. Please use   the package manager "Synaptic" or run "sudo apt-get install -f" in a   terminal to fix this issue first.

When I run the above command in a terminal I get ``` 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?

#4

Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), [COLOR=#ff0000]is another process using it?[/COLOR]

This usually means that you have another package manager open. Maybe the software center, maybe update manager. Dpkg can run only one instance in one program so close the others and then run the install -f command. If you still get the error you can manually unlock dpkg.

sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock

Lxle is suppose to offer long term support for 12.04, lubuntu 12.04 has already reached end of life. I do not run lxle and I wonder just how good a job it does with outdated packages. Please run this command:

ubuntu-support-status --show-unsupported

No need to post the output, just want to know if it spits out a long list of unsupported packages.

Do post back any errors you get when running the install -f command.

#5
close the others

How do I do this? Already tried through task manager and rebooting the system.

Thanks.

#6

A reboot should of shut everything down. Go ahead and try:

sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock

Followed with:

sudo apt-get install -f

Edit I'll check back in after breakfast, maybe someone else will offer to help till then.

#7

just rebooted and tried the install-f command and I get``` dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

#8

Lets back up a bit.

sudo apt-get update

And post any errors. If no errors appear:

sudo apt-get upgrade

[COLOR=#ff0000]Edit[/COLOR]

Do I remove the lock as above? I read somewhere that doing so is a last resort.

Yes, it should be used as a last resort, but doing so will not kill cats or dogs :) I am guessing that your looking at the big picture and feel a bit overwhelmed. Take it one step at a time. Just reply to this post.

#9

To my knowledge no PC or MAC has ever actually killed anyone :lolflag: Not worried I just find research and asking the best way to learn.

same error ``` dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.


Ran ```
sudo dpkg --configure -a
#10

What output does --configure have before 'downloads 100%'? What's downloading during the --configure?

#11
What output does --configure have before 'downloads 100%'?

How do I find this out?

What's downloading during the --configure? 

Dropbox. I was installing calibre and dropbox through the lubuntu software centre and it just suddenly froze when it got to configuring dropbox. No idea why.

FYI, you cannot move a thread, Staff has to do it for you. Use the report button to ask for a moving. Just happened to read here :)
#17

Really need my files. Is it time to remove the lock or do a fresh install? No clue as to why the software updater froze though is the only thing. :(

Good to know

#19

In the mean time, if you really need files on dropbox, you could use dropbox website in a browser.

Please post the full outputs to

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

All of it.

The ' symbol is leaving the command unfinished. Try it without the ' at the end. (ctrl +C to get back to a prompt)

Edit:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

Also, try using the quote tag bubble when quoting, instead of the code tags#.

Does this mean that updates are not forthcoming? Website says this version has been revisited so includes version 14.04 important upgrades. They do have a 14.04 version but only for 64 bit hence the revisited attached to this version.

#24

That is quite a bit of other repos you have here.. Please post the output to the last command :

tail -v -n +1 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*

Now for dropbox, you may want to purge it and try to install it again :

sudo apt-get purge nautilus-dropbox
sudo apt-get install nautilus-dropbox
#25

That is quite a bit of other repos you have here..

lucy@lucy-N150P:~$ 

What does this mean for using the distro? Haven't tried many but this seems to be the fastest so far, including lubuntu.

UPDATE: error when I type the purge command ``` lucy@lucy-N150P:~$ sudo apt-get purge nautilus-dropbox [sudo] password for lucy: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

I just know that very often, when dealing with packages and package managers, it is useful to have a complete picture of all the repositories used on a system. Now you have what I would call a lot of repositories :)

Back to dropbox, which version matches Precise 12.04, so it is not coming from somewhere else, have you tried to purge/install again ? Please do it from a terminal and post the full outputs.

I didn't mistype my password, restarted the terminal three times before pasting the results. Same every time 'try again' and then accepted.

Appreciate the time your spending on this. :D

Considering how many PPAs seem to be installed, I wouldn't try to update to another version of Ubuntu. Updates work best when PPAs and other non-Ubuntu software have been uninstalled.

#29

I'd be curious to know if dpkg broke with installing nautilus-dropbox or was previously broken. You can have a look at logs : /var/lib/dpkg/status & /var/backups for older log files.

#30

I've solved it. :) bampou[[COLOR=#990303][B][/COLOR][/B]]("http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=171805")ma you beat me to the posting. Dropbox was the culprit, just that particular package. A search of lxle lead me to a post where someone had the exact problem. For anyone else tearing their hair out over this:

1) Boot into recovery mode 2) Select the repair option within recovery, recovery will say dropbox is installed 3) Boot into 'normal' mode 4) Despite what your system said, dropbox won't run. Delete it using the software manager and reinstall, using terminal, package manager, or direct from the dropbox website.

Don't know if it's a bug with this particular distro or if that package is dodgy. Software centre seems fine with everything else but nice to know about the repair option.

Thanks to everyone who gave up their time to help me out. :D

#31

Glad to see you fixed it. Please mark your thread as solved (under Thread tools), thanks. I am interested by the link where you found that, do you still have it around ? A broken dpkg output is a broken dpkg output, unless I am missing something about recovery mode, which I very will may :)

Already done, may be a NOOB but that's just good manners :P

See below, don't know enough to tell you what exactly the repair function does.
