Cannot install updates

[Bender09]

When I go to install updates it finds the updates and then ask me to authenticate with my password. When i do it just sits there with the authenticate button. I also does this when installing programs that have me authenticate. What is causing this and how can I fix it.

Thank you,
Bender

Can you run sudo apt-get update in a terminal, and post the output here?

[Bender09]

It pulled the updates and said reading package list 100%.

Any Ideas? thanks

I have the same problem. Monitor says apt-get is running at 50% of cpu.

sudo apt-get update reply is:

E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/

Any help greatly appreciated.

I wanted to see the terminal output so we can determine which repository is missing its gpg key. Try sudo apt-key update

Reboot. You have to many package managers open.
