Adept won't update.

[janthes]

Hey. I am new to Kubuntu from openSUSE (and still overall a Linux noob) and I've run into a update problem. Adept shows that I need to update, but when I click and type in my password, I get this error:

"Another process is using the packaging system database (probably some other Adept application or apt-get or aptitude). Please close the other application before using this one."

I have no idea if I have another updater or what, does anyone know how to help me fix this.

Thanks.

Re: Adept won't update.

I had the same problem and received this instruction. It worked for me.

ps -ewf| grep adept|grep -v grep|awk '{print $2}'

This will list all process being used by adept, one per line. Next you
want a sure way to destroy these processes:

sudo kill -9 <process>

Where <process> is each process number separated by a space. for
example if you got two lines like these:
7513
12158

Your command will look like this:

sudo kill -9 7513 12158

Tpe your password when asked for it here.

Hope it helps.
