I can't able to install any software from the ubuntu software center even i download the packages from online i can't able to install them, there it shows the following error.


Failed to lock the package manager

Check if you are currently running another software management tool, e.g. Synaptic or aptitude. Only one tool is allowed to make changes at a time.
Details: The package indexes are currently changed by apt-get.

Can i install "tar.gz" for ubuntu...?

The error means you are running another package manager (eg. synaptic, update manager).

Try:
sudo killall synaptic and
sudo killall update-manager

If that does not work then try restarting the computer and turning off automatic updates if they are turned on.
