Hi guys
I've come up against a problem trying to install Flash Player pluggin. I downloaded it through the synaptic manager and then did the following:
I typed " sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree " into the terminal, typed in my password and then the following message came up:
" 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? "
I then tried the same text but without 'sudo' at the start, was not asked for a password, and this came up:
" 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? "
If anyone has any pointers on how I can solve this problem and get the adobe flash player then I would of course be very grateful.
I look forward to hearing back.
Yours,
Thomas
