Easy cam error

Asked by Kyle100101

On the FAQ page for easy cam: (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EasyCams) It says to put sudo apt-get update in the terminal But I get this error.

W: GPG error: http://wine.budgetdedicated.com gutsy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 58403026387EE263
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

So I run the apt-get update and I get yet another error.

E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the list directory

Lets see if we cannot fix these.

Please install the repositry gpg key

Please open a Terminal from the menu Applications->Accessories->Terminal and type:

wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -

OK..

This message is telling you that there is a lock file preventing your package manager from getting exclusive access. Package managers create these lock files when they starts and if they crash, you reboot, your power goes out, etc, before they are completed, the lock file remains and the next manager believes another manager is already running.Use the following to delete the lock files, but make sure another copy of a package manager isn't running first.
Try these commands in a terminal:
sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock
sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/lock

Bhavani Shankar.
