I am very new to Ubuntu. I've had 20.04 with Gnome 3 for a couple months. Well, I wanted to try kubuntu. I got kubuntu installed and it is up and running. I went to uninstall Gnome 3 (using directions from the internet), but halfway through uninstalling, I exited out, not knowing you couldn't just start over again.
When I put in the command
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
I get this:
debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable
$ sudo fuser -v /var/cache/debconf/config.dat
USER PID ACCESS COMMAND
/var/cache/debconf/config.dat:
root 32024 F.... frontend
$ sudo apt-get remove gnome-session
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend. It is held by process 31127 (apt-get)
N: Be aware that removing the lock file is not a solution and may break your system.
E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), is another process using it?
$ ps aux | grep -i apt

Can anyone help please? I don't want to break anything! Thank you! :)
