Thread: ttf-mscorefonts-installer always running? Maybe? Only one software management tool?


i'm very, very, new linux. installed other day, sort of thumbing through "ubuntu non-geeks" book.

i'm trying install programs pidgin because don't empathy, , keep getting "only 1 software management tool may run @ time"

looked around on forums, tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1247134
, typed killall dpkg terminal. came "no packages killed"

tried
sudo dpkg --configure -a
, started going nuts ttf-mscorefonts-installer , couldn't resolve domain or something???

noticed hangs updates , has been making mess since added restricted extras trying flash support (still no dice there either)

went here http://friendlytechninja.vndv.com/20...-karmic-koala/ , typed

sudo apt-get remove ttf-mscorefonts-installer

doesn't work get

e: not lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: resource temporarily unavailable)
e: unable lock administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), process using it?

hell going on here? why can't install anything? why tt-mscorefonts-installer attempting run? or doing wrong?

way know nothing terminal or command line, basic responses.

code:

e: not lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: resource temporarily unavailable)
e: unable lock administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), process using it?
