Vim, I'm learning too, but when I ran into that problem, I found that I was able to free up the lock by using the system monitor and then locating the process using it. I tried to end it in the GUI, however root was the owner, so I used:
sudo pkill PROCESS And that seemed to clear up the issue. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong/there is a better way to do this. That error was a frequent occurance, as I exited terminal when the Dropbox bug froze the configuration process. Hope I helped, Evan -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1016559 Title: nautilus-dropbox installation hangs while downloading To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus-dropbox/+bug/1016559/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
