Are you root?
I had a problem with Adobe Flash on YouTube. The problem is soved but I also got the message that the following program were installed but are no longer needed and to remove them. These are the programs and solutions the terminal offered:
libxine1-x libxine1-
phonon-
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
And this is what happened when I put in the command:
michelle@
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
What does this mean? First time I have seen this message.
