error trying to install anything
well, i jumped over to lubuntu, and im on a fresh install of it... but i wanted to go ahead and install elementary to a flash drive and check it out, but cant because when i use terminal to install mkusb, i get this error:
dps@chris-pc:~$ sudo apt-get install mkusb mkusb-nox usb-pack-efi
[sudo] password for dps:
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), is another process using it?
dps@chris-pc:~$
also, when i try to install anything via the software center (discovery) it says:
PolicyKit Error
Incorrect permissions on /usr/lib/policykit-1/polkit-agent-helper-1 (needs to be setuid root)
Any ideas?
