Install VirtualBox 3.0 on Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala
In the newly installed Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic our system one of the most useful is undoubtedly VirtualBox. VirtualBox allows you to create virtual machines on your computer. Programs that run within those virtual machines really believe they are running on a real physical computer. Here in Ubuntux.info other times we talked about Virtualbox
VirtualBox is in the repositories, but with an older version than the official, limited by licensing issues. To have the latest version of VirtualBox on Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala us we should only run in a terminal the following commands:
The first is to add the official repositories of VirtualBox with:
sudo wget http://ubuntux.info/apt/virtualbox.9.10 -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/virtualbox.9.10.list
Recovered the PGP key:
wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/sun_vbox.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
And finally update the repositories and install VirtualBox 3.0 ordered
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install virtualbox-3.0
This is ready Virtualbox installed on our system. A new option will appear under Applications -> System Tools -> Sun Virtualbox.

When I update the repositories get the following:
E: Could not lock / var / lib / dpkg / lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/ var / lib / dpkg /), is another process using it?
You can help?

Every so often Ubuntu checks for updates. You may have coincided when installed Virtualbox. Test a few minutes later.

continues to do so, it is as if some package manager open ... but there is not ...
I have not found a solution!

Thanks x the contribution of the vbox installation, this error usually comes when we are updating the computer twice at the same time, it may be that at the time you are with the synaptoc, i on the other side from terminal running the command update, then there updating times without leaving this msg: E: Could not lock / var / lib / dpkg / lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/ var / lib / dpkg /), is another process using it?
from terminal um beams from terminal ps (system monitor) i do a kill -9 UUID_del_proceso_apt or do it from the system monitor.
