hey all,
I've run into my first update 'glitch', and I really dont know what to do with this..
Can you please enlighten me on how to handle this little hang-up? please? lol
I just tried to install the "important security updates", and after it reads package info,
I get this~
an error occured~
the following details are provided
E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the download directory
it looks/seems like it should be simple enough, but i truly am lost.
all ive come up with is this~
The "Could not get lock" error indicates that another process is using apt. Note that adding the nVidia driver also counts as adding software. The solution would be: make sure that all package managers, driver installers have stopped. Then install the driver and after it's finished, install extra software

and its not doing me much good#-o

many thanks, Rasa :KS
