    Problems with software installationa and up-date

    Hi there,

    I have some problems with installing and updating software on my Kubuntu 13.04, which I haven't experienced with previous versions. First of all I cannot install any application using Muon Software Manager. When I try to do so, it only waits, and waits, and waits, and the installation never begins - see below.





    Moreover this process, although does nothing, seems to block the database:

    Code:
    sudo apt-get install miro

E: Nie udało się zablokować katalogu /var/cache/apt/archives/[/b]
    So I have to first remove the "lock file" before trying to install any software.

    Code:
    zbyszek@lapek:~$ sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/lock
    Then it goes quite O.K., but still returns some errors at the end of the process...

    I don't have such problem with Muon Package Manager, although as seen above when database is locked it also cannot install any software, which is obvious. Muon Softawre Updater works, although it also returns errors at the end of the process.

    Does anyone have an idea what could be the reason for this behaviour and how to fix it? What cpufreqd has to do with this?

      Again there's a problem with cpufreqd... I don't understand this.

        That's an old utility for performing userspace configuration of CPU speeds. It isn't needed on modern hardware, and indeed is no longer part of the default install of any of the *buntu variants. Just get rid of the thing. And just to make sure it's really gone, we're going to bring out the big guns:

        Code:
        sudo dpkg --force-all --purge cpufreqd
        Now try oshun's suggestions.

          What do you mean it isn't needed? I have installed it because my CPU persistently ran on 100%!

            You need a CPUFreq driver and either APM, ACPI (a recent version) or PMU enabled in your kernel in order for this daemon to work.

                The kernel has dynamically handled scaling for quite some time now.

                Please show the output of:
                Code:

                  Maybe it has, but I believe it was not working properly in my case.
