I was installing wine onto a Ubuntu server however I alt tabbed to another window and I saw a pink screen flash by(assuming configuration screen).

I however got a black screen and didn't see anything anymore. I relogged and tried to install wine again but it : "Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)".

Which is I assume the install process still.

How do I get control back of the process or what should I do to be able to install wine again?

thanks in advance

Answer 1

You need to kill dpkg and it will drop the lock it has on the install repo. Then you can unistall / reinstall wine.

You could restart the server
