Re: Adept giving error

Try typing "sudo apt-get update" from the console - see if you get an error saying that there is a "lock" file or files open. If you do, then delete the "lock" files (using, for example, kdesu konqueror) then try again

Hi true_friend
Thanks for the advice but in my case it wouldn't open konqueror.
Thsi is the script that came up

errol@errolinux:~$ kdesu konqueror
X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 166
Major opcode: 144
Minor opcode: 3
Resource id: 0x0
Failed to open device
