Hello everyone,
I am new to Linux and Kubuntu and have been trying to teach myself how to fix any issues I come across. I have been trying to update the apps on my computer and although most are able to update there are still six that won't update. I receive this message every time I try.
Cannot obtain lock E: Could not get lock/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend. It is held by process 2183(unattended-upgr) W: Be aware that removing the lock file is not a solution and may break your system. E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-forntend), is another process using it?
These are the specs for my system:
What methods are best to resolve this?
Thank you for any help
