I am new to Ubuntu and I am trying to update Ubuntu via command line .

So, there is an error occur I don't know how to figure it out. I am using Ubuntu version 15.04 [Vivid Vervet] 

sudo apt-get update
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) 
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

something else has a lock on the package database, if you have killed off other processes they may not have cleared the lock. A simple restart should cure this for you.
