I 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.
Today when tried to install a software from the terminal...d command dint work. Check this.

I'm working a program to implement a simple multi-process browser. The browser works by having a ROUTER process as the parent of everything else in the program. There's another process called the CONTROLLER which is part of where the user can input information. To tell the ROUTER to make a new tab in the browser the user activates a function from the CONTROLLER to send the create new tab information to the ROUTER:
Code:
void new_tab_created_cb(GtkButton *button, gpointer data)

I installed a while ago two CentOS 5.3 servers. One of them was running Samba and another OpenLDAP. I configured Samba to act as a PDC on the network and everything was working fine. I was already on policies configuration and desktop migrations.
The following problems are Samba server problem, LDAP server is on hold until I figure out the first problem.
Software conf:
Hardware conf:
One day, both servers began crashing, and after a while, it showed the following during the boot on Samba:
After that, ALL CentOS installations had this problem after yum update, epel installation and some smb.conf modifications:
I figured out it might be EPEL (i did installed yum-priorities and tryied updating the base sistem BEFORE epel installations), so I installed the system without EPEL yum repository. After some good and relieving 15 min working, the system crashed AGAIN after yum base update and showed the following on boot time:
And it stops right there.
Maybe some wrong kernel update? the first time it crashed in one way, with running updated system (After the first update, no manual update was done). The sequel problems were all after Kernel update and EPEL. The last one was just after Kernel update. I'll try one last time with NO updates, but i can't run the system like that.
I can't do anything that might one day crash, it's a 6000-7000 user gov environment, but i don't want to install another distro, so if I don't figure it out, they will order me to.
I have had ubuntu installed for a few months now and have been loving it. Yesterday I wanted to get JDK installed for a found a forum that said how to install it on ubuntu. The installation was not a success (I am not sure why because I am not skilled when it comes to the command line and I didn't understand the error). Later, I tried to install a different application just through the ubuntu software center and it said it was waiting for a different software manager to finish. I didn't understand what was still running because I had all other applications closed that I know of.
Once I restarted the problem was the same. Then I found a bug where people had the same problem with the software manager and they entered this and fixed it:
sudo dpkg --configure -a Now whenever I try to apt-get anything I get:
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 am running ubuntu 10.04 and am trying to get updates via the update manager but continue to get the following errors:
"E: could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open(11:Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the download directory"
I have a few updates that I can install using the Update Manager but when I click the "Install Updates" button I get this pop up window message
E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the download directory
How to get the updates?
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?
I was just mucking about in xfce, trying out new window buttons in conjunction with the black theme - dusk?? - when POW! - X shut down. Rebooting didn't restore things. Error is along these lines:
xfce4-session: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0. xfwm4: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0.

Is there a config file I can edit to get away from the window button setting it dislikes, or is reinstalling xfce the only option?
I've been running Samba on Gentoo as a PDC for a Windows XP domain for several years. We are using the IdealX smbldap tools to maintain users, we are storing accounts in OpenLDAP, and everything has been just golden for quite a while. However, for various reasons, we are migrating our servers away from Gentoo and onto Ubuntu 10.04 (64-bit). Unfortunately, replicating our Samba PDC/OpenLDAP backend on Ubuntu is kicking our backsides.I've got Samba 3.4.7 running. I've got OpenLDAP running. ldapsearch/ldapmodify/ldapadd all work correctly. However, when I try to mount a Samba share on another Ubuntu machine, I get...:
Code:

I have a machine running on RH with 4G memory and 8G swap.Just now I'm having a problem when loging in with a user - just call it "userX" -.Each time I'm logged in I got a message Code:-bash: fork: ource temporarily unavailableAnd almost everytime I entered any command, it gives me the same warning. In some time (rarely) it will give me proper result, but almost any time it gives me the warning and no result.When I use 'top' command, it shows that I still have 500M free memory and about 8G free swaps. Plus the process for userX is less than 20 processes, and each of them are short processes (less than an hour, mostly just few seconds).As a note this problem only occur on userX, for any other user on the machine everything works just fine.

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 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.

I tried install Gimp, but received: "Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?". I saw the article "Sticky: Using sudo in place of root login in Ubuntu" and guess it's relevant. And when I extract Blender it's just a bunch of inactive files. Not quitting although having trouble at the moment.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am working with a C++ program consisting of two threads. The first threads receives packets through an UDP unicast connection and stores them in a buffer. The second thread reads the packets from the buffer and sends them through an UDP multicast connection. Both use blocking sockets and share a common buffer and a linked list L1, which are protected by mutexes. The program seemed to work just fine, receiving a packet and sending it almost immediately, but started giving some trouble recently. The synchronization between both thread started failing, and I decided to use a non-blocking socket in the sending thread. As a consequence, sendto() doesn't work in some cases, causing an errno 11 (Resource unavailable).
