I was Using ubuntu 20.04 and I wanted to upgrade it to 20.10. While upgrading I closed the terminal beacause it stoped to work and I can't open apps like Settings ubuntu software and the terminal, I even can't restart.I tried to use the terminal in Vs Code but I get always this error message E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend. It is held by process 73120 (groovy) 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?

What happens when you enter the command reboot – Archisman Panigrahi Jan 24 '21 at 16:56
It says Oh something has gone wrong! Contact a system administrator – Aren Tigranyan Jan 24 '21 at 16:58
Sorry, I don't know how to deal with that. Hopefully someone else would be able to address the issue – Archisman Panigrahi Jan 24 '21 at 17:04

Does this answer your question? See terminal text. 'Waiting for cache lock' error. How to fix? I'm on Ubuntu 21.04 – karel Jul 31 '22 at 05:21
