Hi, im new with ubuntu so bare with me. Ok, when ever i try to sudo apt-get install anything it says
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 can not figure out whats going on and it says that the program will alter my ethernets mac address, and i dont want that happening (or do i?(i have no idea what DECnet does))
and then when i go to sudo dpkg --configure -a it brings me to the DECnet configuration.
Now i have been googling for about a day now and only found one thing that says to uninstall it. Im not really sure what to do, or how to uninstall it so if you could help me it woul be very much appreciated.:)
