Installing Gimp on 32bit 10.04 - Help - FIXED

[Tim036]

Got these error messages a little way i to installing Gimp

ive got a grey box on the screen which says

cannot get lock kpackagekit (thats the title of the grey box)

cannot get the xclusive lock on the package back end.
please close any other legacy packaging tools that may be open

it has an explanation mark oinside a big yellow triangle on the left of that

and when you click details it says

E: dpkg was interrupted,you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem

_________

Do I have to wake up the terminal and type "sudo dpkg --configure -a"

I'm lost !

Try closing Kpackagekit, synaptic, muon, or anything else that would open the sources list.

Then open a terminal, and issue

sudo dpkg --configure -a

and see if it clears. If it does, and while you have the terminal open

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gimp

will install gimp for you.
