réjean 265 Posted February 26 (edited) Hi everyone! It has been a long time since I have posted. I have been reading some threads once in a while however. I am running Ubuntu and I have purchase a wireless set of headphone thinking that I could use bluetooth to connect but I am having some difficulties installing it.Here is what I get when I try Synaptic; "quote" W: Failed to fetch http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/c/cogl/libcogl20_1.22.2-5_amd64.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.14 80] W: Failed to fetch http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/c/cogl/libcogl-pango20_1.22.2-5_amd64.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.14 80] "/quote" If I try 'sudo apt-get install bluetooth' I get; "quote" E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (11: Resource temporarily unava ilable) E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), is another pr ocess using it? "/quote" What can I do? Thanks! Edited February 26 by réjean cannot remember how to quote. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hedon James 886 Posted February 26 you can't use apt or apt-get if synaptic is open. synaptic runs with root privileges and "locks" the dpkg installer. close synaptic and use the terminal. It's been awhile since I set up bluetooth on mine (Lubuntu 16.04) but I can't imagine it changed much. This all looks familiar: https://www.maketecheasier.com/setup-bluetooth-in-linux/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
réjean 265 Posted February 26 Thanks James. I thought I had closed Synaptic but maybe I hadn't. Anyway.

securitybreach 10,863 Posted February 26 Well you are getting all of the 404 errors as that directory is no longer on the mirror that you are using. If you navigate to http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ you will see that Cosmic is no longer there. Even under dists, you go from Bionic to Disco 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hedon James 886 Posted February 26 (edited) 11 minutes ago, securitybreach said: 18.10 Cosmic Clutter went out of support on July 2019 (found here) and that is probably why you are having issues. correct. at this point, he can only upgrade to 19.04 (also an interim release and out of 9-month support windows) and then 19.10. At this point, I'd simply re-install and choose a 20.04 beta. it's nearly finished. and future reference, I'd stick to 'buntu LTS releases only....easily identified as even numbered years AND ending in .04....currently 20.04 for April 2020 LTS. LTS versions have 5 year support windows, so you only have to upgrade about every 2 years. Those in-between versions (odd numbers and/or ending in *.10) are only supported for 9 months, so to stay current you MUST upgrade every 6 months to stay within the support cycle. FWIW...
