Title: Permission denied am I root Ubuntu error Post by: chufchuf on April 11, 2013, 04:17:39 AM https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/readme-qt.rst
Both assuming that the '\' are and aren't actual enter for new line; When writing: apt-get install qt4-qmake libqt4-dev build-essential libboost-dev libboost-system-dev \ libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-thread-dev \ libssl-dev libdb++-dev libminiupnpc-dev in an Ubuntu, I get 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? Anyone know what this means?

This will temporarily give you root (admin) privileges. Title: Re: Permission denied am I root Ubuntu error Post by: tiktoc on April 11, 2013, 01:37:06 PM Or there is another user using apt or an apt program already running.
