    Re: How do i change permissions for initramfs.conf

    Hi

    Do you have update manager or software center open.

    If you do then close them and re-run the commands in my last post.

    If they are not open then please post the output of

    Code:
    ps aux | egrep "dpkg|apt|cent|manager"
    and

    Code:
    sudo lsof /var/lib/dpkg/status
    Something has a lock on your dpkg status database

    Kind regards

    Hi

    You have number of apt and dpkg instances running.

    From the terminal

    Code:
    sudo kill 34680 7852 7708 7184
    Code:
    sudo dpkg --purge --pending
    Code:
    sudo apt-get update
    Code:
    sudo apt-get upgrade
    Post back errors and results.

    Kind regards

    Hi

    Sorry i was looking at the wrong column. Been a long day here.

    Try this

    Code:
    sudo kill 7786 7787 8619 8620
    Then run those other command again.

    Kind regards
