Hello, Ive been getting this error some times now,
E: Could not unlock lockfile /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Access denied)
E: Could not lock administrationcatalog (/var/lib/dpkg/). Are you root?

I know there is 2 commands I run in the terminal to make it go away for a short period of time, but is there no way to make this go away?
Since its asking me if im root, how do I make myself root? This is not a hosting computer its my personal computer.

either you type just " su " and it will log you in as root or use sudo in front of the command. If you are running something through the terminal that is.. Creating another root user isn't the optional thing to do.. Just google " useradd root " or something like that if you are convinced you want to go ahead and do that :)
