    What does this mean, will not update or get apps..

    Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock. It is held by process 1032 (packagekitd)
    N: Be aware that removing the lock file is not a solution and may break your system.
    E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/

    It means something is not releasing the package manager. Reboot from cold start and try again
