[13:09] <vangu> Hello
[22:46] <biscuitbutter[m]> i'm having dpkg issues
[22:48] <tomreyn> biscuitbutter[m]: which lubuntu version are yuo running? what's the error message?
[22:48] <tomreyn> please use a pastebin service when posting more than one line of output
[22:49] <tomreyn> actually, i think 'the matrix' offers a way to do that, too
[22:58] <biscuitbutter[m]> Waiting for cache lock: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend. It is held by process 4
[22:58] <biscuitbutter[m]> 20.04
[22:58] <biscuitbutter[m]> seems like i need to kill some pid processes or something idk
[22:59] <biscuitbutter[m]> i've restarted and shut down the computer a bunch of times, no luck
[23:16] <tomreyn> biscuitbutter[m]: usually this means that another process is running updates
[23:16] <tomreyn> this can be fine, there are background processes which can do so
[23:17] <tomreyn> ps 4    will list the provess
[23:17] <tomreyn> *process
[23:24] <biscuitbutter[m]> idk i can't install a debian package because of this, hopefully upgrading to the new lubuntu will fix it
[23:26] <kryten> Well, if dpkg is locked then that won't work either though.
[23:32] <biscuitbutter[m]> idk why it's locked even after restarting
