i have a dual boot sytem that is win7 and ubuntu 11.04.
I am new to Linux (installed Ubuntu for the first time yesterday), and have never dealt with any unix-based OS. I started using Linux for the sole purpose of collaborating code with my partners via git. I first needed to install jdk/jre.
Hi,
when I try to run a video file on my Ubuntu it says:
The playback of this movie requires a XVID MPEG-4 decoder plugin which is not installed.
I tried sudo apt-get install xvid but it gives the error:
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

I am running ubuntu (desktop edition) on an old laptop of mine. It is running as a server but since I had always found that in windows it would be running hot, I wanted to check the CPU temperature under linux using a gnome applet (or something I can easily see all the time). I have disabled unity.
I have tried double checking for updates and updating the ppa via the terminal. The terminal outputs this, at the end.
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
Any ideas?
Thank you.

I then try this but saw this message:
