Buntz Posted December 9, 2007 CID Share Posted December 9, 2007 Just install Kubuntu in my computer. It is dual booted with windows XP home. My problem is the Adept Manager is not working. I get this error message when I try to use it. Database Locked- Adept Manager Another process is using the packaging system database [probably some other Adept application or apt-get or aptitude ]. I had some trouble installing Kubuntu, I had to use the alternate version of the CD download to get it install. After I install it I updated the os and got a error message,but it did update. Then I went in to Adept Manager and install Firefox, got another error message,but firefox is working[ I am using it now ] After I install firefox it stop working.I can click on the program I want to install,but the apply changes will not work. Can one of the mods please move this to the right section of the forum for me. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimmer Posted January 7, 2008 CID Share Posted January 7, 2008 I saw the lastest build of Ubuntu break apt-get following an update late last month... I am not a Ubuntu user.. however make sure that you are not in the process of running an update when you are trying to access apt-get.. try running this command at it will tell you if the apt process is rinning: ps -aef | grep apt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buntz Posted January 8, 2008 Author CID Share Posted January 8, 2008 I also tried to install SUSE 10.3 , it would lock up on me during installation. I just try install SUSE 10.3 again and it lock up again. It keep locking up when it get to the package installation part of the installation. I am using the 64 bit version of SUSE 10.3 that I downloaded and burn to a DVD. the computer spec are 3700+ oc to 2600MHz ASUS A8N-SLI Premium motherboard 2GB of Corsair ram Nvidia 7300GT video card [single card] 320 GB Maxtor Harddrive that has 3 partition on it. # 1-19.53 GB has the windows os on it. #2 -136.71 GB that I use for my windows downloads. # 3 -141.84 GB that I am using to install SUSE 10.3 linux on.

mudmanc4 Posted January 8, 2008 CID Share Posted January 8, 2008 I have noticed hat several Linux distros do not care for an OC system. Especially Ubuntu, and Suse. May be just a coincidence, but I have had much better luck when returning CPU to specs. EDIT: maybe try lowering clock speed during installation, then creeping back up after updates.

Buntz Posted January 8, 2008 Author CID Share Posted January 8, 2008 Mudmanc4 You where right! I remove the overclock and SUSE 10.3 install with no problems. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark06 Posted January 9, 2008 CID Share Posted January 9, 2008 try this to install kubuntu if your having problems installing http://wubi-installer.org/index.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buntz Posted January 9, 2008 Author CID Share Posted January 9, 2008 So far everything is going good with SUSE 10.3, so at this time I am going to stay with it. Just to let everybody know I try to put my 2600 MHz overclock back in after the installation was done and it lock up again during upgrades so I lower it back down to 2409 MHz so far it good. The only problem I am having now is one of the upgrades will not install, it is for the Amarok media player which does not matter because I use VLC player and the upgrade is to fix a stability problem. Dark06 Thanks for the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
