Database Locked

Re: Database Locked

If that (apt-get --configure -a) does not work, then run:
sudo apt-get -f install

The following are not required to fix the problem:
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install

Although, if apt-get -f install does, run the four commands above.

Re: Database Locked

So what commands else can I try?

Re: Database Locked

The last command is not sudo apt-get --configure -a it is:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

Re: Database Locked

This is the way, first thing worked.

pavel@PavelPC:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
Password:
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of ubuntu-restricted-extras:
 ubuntu-restricted-extras depends on sun-java6-jre; however:
 Package sun-java6-jre is not installed.
dpkg: error processing ubuntu-restricted-extras (--configure):

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly:

Errors were encountered while processing:
 ubuntu-restricted-extras
 gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly
pavel@PavelPC:~$

And also with the sudo apt-get -f install, I have got all that is down below. The problem is, that I cannot click the OK button =(.

Use the Tab key. You'll know when you are on the <Ok> (it will change color a bit), then press Enter.
