Public bug reported:
just trying to change my boot order.
Bug happened when running literally:
1.fgrep menuentry /boot/grub/grub.cfg
- this was ok and outputs the cfg file contents on screen
2. gksu edit /etc/default/grub
- results in
The program 'gksu' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt install gksu
3. sudo apt install gksu
- asks password (ofc)
output is the following 2 lines beginning with E:
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?
*might* have to do with the fact that firefox plugins wont install, and also
chrome install hangs at 51% when installing from "Ubuntu Software"
The error with FF is identical with complaining about the administration
directory, but chrome just silently hangs there.....
My install is quite default ubuntu latest i guess 17.04 x64. tbh i did
not change anything but kb and regional settings while installing.
lsb:
Description: Ubuntu 17.04
Release: 17.04
apt-cache policy gconf:
gconf:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: (none)
Version table:
what i expected to happen:
apt download and install of gksu (which i don't know what it is some editor i
guess)
what happened:
the same 2 E: lines that I get in the other mentioned situations.
note: I don't know if this is a bug as such. I mean maybe, I guess (never
having gui installed linux before, I've been windows / apple since 90's) gconf
is missing from the install package?
So kind of not a bug but a packaging issue maybe, I don't know how ubuntu is
structured in regards to ALM, if this were a software with multiple components
I would guess all the builds are ok but the output copy failed for that part? I
am just a .net dev / architect so this is a guess. But if this were microsoft
server app X, then we're talking a missing dll / component from the
distribution image.
As it might be pertinent,install was done by rufus (2.11) just making a
bootable usb stick from:
ubuntu-17.04-desktop-amd64.iso
which was downloaded a few days ago from the offical main page.
I won't bother doing the DebuggingProcedures, as my personal guess is that
debugging software that does not exist on this install is not technically
feasible.
I will also not try to update manually or anything, in case someone wants to
take a remote gander at the situation, or require more info which would be lost
in case I change something.
