Halfway through installing, SSH connection dies, what shall I do?
#1
hi all,

I installed Transmission last night although went to bed halfway through the install and shut my laptop lid, therefore the ssh connection died.

Now this morning I see that TM was asking for a prompt, although when I reconnect I don't get the prompt, i'm back at $, and apt-get install transmission just yields "E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)"

could anyone advise on how I can proceed with my "half installed" program please?

Transmission shouldn't promt as far as I know. Here is a thread with possible solutions.

Note, my LaSi installer also installs transmission, it's unattended there.

thanks for that, I'll try and dig myself out of this mess, it prompted me to stick with some existing packages for some part of the installation or something.

I know, I kicked myself when I browsed to the forum asking for advise as I though, aaahhhhhh I could have just LaSi'd it!

I don't know if I can track down my problem from LaSi errors, but for what it's worth I get

You could try the following:
Code:
sudo  dpkg-reconfigure --force transmission-daemon
#or
sudo apt-get purge transmission-deamon
after purging, reinstall with LaSi.sh
