Which version of Kubuntu are you using? My hunch - and I've had this problem with Synaptic - is that you have Update Manager set to check for updates at start up, so that when you turn on, it's automatically polling the repositories, and put a lock on any other apt-using program. Have you checked Ksysguard (K Menu > system > Performance monitor) Proces table to see if UDM is running?
