Could not get lock var lib dpkg lock open 11 Resource temporarily unavailable

You can use sudo lsof /var/lib/dpkg/lock to find the process that owns the lock file (if empty, assume the lock is left over from a previous boot and can be sudo rmd), then consider doing a sudo kill -9 (get from lsof output.




You can delete the lock file with the following command:

sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/lock

You may also need to delete the lock file in the cache directory

sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/lock

After that, try opening Synaptic again.
