As I am behind a proxy server, few of the files were not downloaded (files or libraries which have s e x in continuation) as this word is filtered.
Problem is that i downloaded them separately and tried to install them..
This is what the error which i get everytime.
$ rpm -ivh system-config-firewall-tui-1.2.7-1.fc9.noarch.rpm // this is one of the few files which weren't downloaded.
error: can't create transaction lock on /var/lib/rpm/__db.000
i tried to remove urbanterror with
Code:
pacman -R urbanterror
and there was an error that said
Code:
error: failed to init transaction(unable to lock database)if you're sure a package manager is not already running, you can remove /var/lib/pacman/db.lck and there was the same error when i try to install a package. I recently did a full system update could that be the problem?
my problem is the terminal:
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/) , are you root?
When i connect windows server 2003 from ubuntu these error displayed .When i installing the tsclient, by executing these following command from a Terminal window:

When i run these command the following error displayed.

E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
I have a HP Pavilion dv4 that is 4 months old. Yesterday it suddenly seemed to restart then once I logged in it turned off. When I tried to turn it on some of the lights came on and the caps lock and num lock started flashing. Since then I have not been able to get it to work correctly.It once seemed to turn on but died again after the login window.I tried to use my live cd but the same thing happened. It started loading once, but then shut down again. Every other time it stayed dead minus the lights
View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently installed Ubuntu 11.04 on an old Sony Vaio laptop. I was following some of the steps here..[url]
The step "Enable Full DVD Playback(Dual Layer DVD Support)" did not finish correctly doh and now I can't use 'sudo apt-get' for anything or the software center or using the 'Update Manager' does not work.
The update manger says it may be caused by an update not finishing correctly which sounds correct as explained above. The apt-get command gives me back the following....'Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock resource temporarily unavailable' 'unable to lock administration directory /var/lib/dpkg is another process using it?'
I tried the obvious restart but that hasn't worked.

View 1 Replies View RelatedThere is a very strange problem I've been having. When I enable either Caps Lock or Num Lock the media controls on my keyboard cease to work. I have Googled this one to death but found nothing. This problem existed in Xubuntu 9.10 and now still exists in Xubuntu 10.04. The keyboard I use is a Logitech Elite Keyboard. I would love to be able to use the Caps Lock and Num Lock without the worry that I am disabling the media controls

I've had a look in the forums already but there's nothing about this happening on Boot of the live CD.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm wondering why the num lock doesn't work in Ubuntu anymore? When you press the "num lock" key, you're supposed to be able to input the numbers along with + - * / and decimal point. When I press num lock and try typing numbers, nothing happens.
I've done a google search and this is a well known problem that nobody has fixed. In Windows it's never a problem.
Seems such a shame that the great Ubuntu and Linux are so good for stability and speed, but can't get a simple num lock working.
I am having a very annoying problem with my laptop.I am experiencing many freezes.When my laptop freezes, it shows the caps lock and scroll lock lights blinking.At first I thought it was a problem with flash (here is original thread: URL... )In the original thread, I thought the freeze's were being caused by the flashplayer, but it apparently isn't the case.The last time I experienced the freeze, I was playing around with the compiz desktop effects.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have proftpd @ Ubuntu 9.04 server. It authenticates users via Auth file, e.g. those are "FTP only" users, not real linux users. Each of them has assigned home dir in the same auth file. They also get Chrooted into it, e.g. default dir is ~ in proftpd.conf They can connect and download files successfully, however, they cannot upload anything or create directory: 550 permission denied error.
When I login via ssh and change user to proftpd user, I can create directories in that particular place, so I guess it's not Linux permissions problem? Or is it? /var/log/daemon.log is the place where proftpd stores its logs, but I cannot find anything relevant there
I have a cgi script that tries to get the IP address of a domain. the Domain is defined in Bind, yet it can not resolve it. I put the domain in the host file and it then gives a Error: unable to create socket - Permission denied

I installed MATLAB R2009a in my laptop (Fedora 14 x86-64), the installation was succesful but when I run MATLAB (in a console), appears a message: error while loading shared libraries: libut.so: cannot enable executable stack as shared object requires: Permission denied
I find a "solution", execute in a terminal: execstack -c libut.so
I used several times with differents libraries that I needed, but I run MATLAB in a terminal, MATLAB starts in a terminal, only a prompt ">>" and nothing.
Lately I sometimes get the error message:
Code:
E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the download directory
when I try to update. I get this using both the Update Manager or using
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
I have accidentally locked myself out in the following manner. I have Fedora 13 with SElinux. The whole hard drive was encrypted at install with Fedora's standard method. Upon logging into a non-root account called "hoss", I set the policy (in gnome) System menu -> Administration -> SElinux administration -> User Mapping -> added the logged on user as a SElinux user with only user_u privileges. After reboot, I successfully log in as hoss, but now I get an error when trying to open the SElinux administration, any open office program, or any task requiring elevation with root password (the prompt never comes up). What is worse is I did not set the ability to login the console as root. This user now does not have write privileges to any of root's documents. I cannot access the hard drive from a remote source because it is encrypted. Is there any way whatsoever to now elevate myself to root to reconfigure SElinux? When I open the SElinux administration Should there not be a prompt that gives me a root password to be able to correct SElinux by removing "hoss" from the list? As of right now this account seems to be totally unable to be elevated to higher privileges. I cannot even use the Add/Remove software feature to apply patches to SElinux without a root password. Elevating to su in bash is also blocked.

The above is the error message I get when I try to create an usb-flash boot drive. I downloaded the iso for Mint10 and use the "create startup disk" program to create the boot drive. I can see both the iso and the flash drive within the program, but when I click on "create disk" I get the above error message?
I recently switched from Ubuntu Maverick 32-bit to 64-bit so I could compile Android's latest revision, Gingerbread.
Everything went pretty smoothly and I managed to fix most issues that was caused due to the switch.
But each time I open terminal, the following error shows up:
Code:
mkdir: cannot create directory `/mnt/cgroups/cpu': Permission denied
bash: /mnt/cgroups/cpu/19088/notify_on_release: No such file or directory
bash: /mnt/cgroups/cpu/19088/tasks: No such file or directory
I've tried manually creating that directory as root but the error remains.
When i log in as root, and try to click the lock screen button, lock screen doesnt work? Is it disabled by default?is there anyway to lock screen when logged in as root
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have been working with F13 since last summer and Kontact/Akonadi worked fine all this time. Two weeks ago, more or less, Akonadi started to crash every time I tried to start it. Therefore I can use Kmail but without geting access to my contacts, since I put them on a resource controlled by Akonadi.
Just now I have updated a lot of KDE modules, include Akonadi, but the result is the same. Hereafter you will find the entire akonadi-selftest-report:[URL]..

View 2 Replies View RelatedCan I change the Caps Lock key to Control and still keep the on/off nature of Caps Lock? I've checked into using xmodmap and seem to have hit a dead end. Many people want to swap them, but they also want to swap the way they work. I'd rather keep my new Control key as an on/off switch for Control.

But I don't understand what the solution is. I believe this has something to do with the permissions on the directory im trying to check out so I did chmod 777 on subdirectory in /cvs(my cvsroot directory) and I was able to checkout subdirectory afterwards, but I still get the same error.

I'm trying to install Ubuntu 9.10 on my Windows Vista Home Premium machine. My specs far exceed the requirements to install, so I know there's no problem there.On installation I receive an error somewhat through that says something like:Quote:An error occured:Permission deniedFor more information, please see the log file:C:UsersUsernameAppDataLocalTempwubi-9.10ubuntu1-rev160.logSo.... I go to that file, and the last line in it is:Quote:OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'C:\ubuntu\install\ubuntu-9.10-desktop-amd64.iso'I did run Wubi Installer as an Administrator, and unblocked it giving it full privileges.It's really annoying because my download speed is 80kb/s so it takes about 3 hours to download. During that 3 hours I can't use my internet so I have to wait, and wait, and wait, and then boom.error. And wubi can't pick up where it left off, you have to uninstall to reinstall, which sucks tremendously.

Under 11.0 I was using Kinternet for a dialup connection through an external USB modem.Kinternet isn't available under 11.3, so I installed KPPP but haven't been able to get it to work. The modem and provider has been configured through YaST.At first with KPPP there was an error with permissions as a user. One old thread discussed how to fix this through chmod, which was successful for me.Now there is the error message 'Unable to create modem lock file'.Under configuration, use lock file is checked.
