I have the same problem. I am not exactly sure no other apt(itude) is running but I am quite sure I did not manually start one. Here is my ps.txt created with
$ ps afs > /tmp/ps.txt This is while the Update Manager window and error window are still open. Thank you for looking into this. ** Attachment added: "Output of ps after error with "Update Manager" and error window open" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/38819054/ps.txt -- E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the download directory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/427029 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
