I was using screen, and in one of the session, apt-get installed rspfd daemon. apt-get hun while trying to start this daemon. I couldn't do anything except killing apt-get and screen. But after that I'm not able to run apt-get anymore, I get this error:
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? What do I need to do to ake apt-get work again? apt-get -f install gives the same message Another problem is with gpm. It's a generic serial mouse. Works well under X. On the console too it appears to be okay since I can mov eit around but when copying and pasting, theres a problem. when I copy text, it is able to paste it once. If the text goes over one line and if I drag the mouse faster and say 2 - 3 lines get marked and copied, in this case it doesn't paste anything. Now whatever I copy ... even if a single word, it doesn't paste anything. Only after I restart gpm, does it paste. It paste the same text which I copied but only after restarting gpm. And that too only once, the next copying would again paste after a restart of gpm. What's thi strange problem? -- --------------------------------------- Can someone, who causes pain to others, experience real joy? --------------------------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
