      That dpkg lock issue 😭

      I still don’t know what’s the proper way of handling it other than just restarting the computer and deleting the lock files, then hope nothing breaks.

        He was running long installation process from command line and lock warning was probably appropriate.

    Shame, it seems an apt issue caused him multiple problems.

    It prevented him from setting up Davinci Resolve, though honestly that probably wouldn’t have worked out well anyways.

    He also wasn’t able to install the deb of kdenlive, but at least the snap version worked for him.

      It’s interesting but I didn’t watch and share this as a serious review. I posted it for the couple of chuckles I got out of ‘The power of sudo compels you’ and ‘God only has ten commands’. Sam’s a funny guy.

      I would’ve liked to see him try mint instead. Less fluff, and hopefully that would’ve gone better for him.

    All the losers down voting the post…

    You surely can laugh without feeling attacked at your very core, don’t you?

    He is a true CEO of Linux. Has no clue about what he’s doing but he’s very confident. He should’ve at least read a tiny bit about how this works. Such as, you can’t go and install apt packages without updating your system first, or else you will run into issues. You also can’t use a GUI apt frontend as well as apt via the command line. Some of the errors he encountered are totally Ubuntu’s fault tho, such as the broken installer.

      you can’t go and install apt packages without updating your system first You can use apt without updating first. You’ll just be installing potentially outdated versions if the cached repository information is old. Though you may run into issues if you do partial upgrades (updating the cached repository, but not running an upgrade, then installing something new). Though this is less of an issue on Ubuntu since they try not to do big updates.

      you also can’t use a GUI apt frontend as well as apt via the command line The error message should tell you that you can’t have multiple commands running at once. The error message is a bit too technical, citing the lock files.

    He was probably supposed to mark downloaded .run file executable. Instead he went to collect errors.
