Apt-Get Not working

[srmcatee]

Hello,

I just installed Ubuntu 18 desktop AMi. I am on the instance and when I try to install something via apt-get I get this error:

E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), is another process using it?

I've tried to kill the process. But it will not die:

ubuntu@ip-10-0-1-22:~$ ps aux | grep -i apt
root 3571 0.0 0.0 4628 768 ? Ss 11:54 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/lib/apt/apt.systemd.daily install

ubuntu 32300 0.0 0.0 13136 1040 pts/0 S+ 12:04 0:00 grep --color=auto -i apt

It is checking for new updated software. It usually finishes in 5 minutes. Just wait a little.

Thank you. I figured that out (after five minutes or so)
