I am new to Linux. I have downloaded a virtualbox and am using a virtual version of linux (ubuntu 64-bit) on a windows PC. I am following this guide to make an apk using kivy. One of the steps is to run dpkg --add-architecture i386 in the terminal. Upon doing this, i get the error:
dpkg: error: unable to create new file '/var/lib/dpkg/arch-new': Permission denied
Having searched the web for fixes to this message, I tried to run this with sudo in front, but this doesn't seem to do anything. I tried to remove the lock file using sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock, but this also didn't return anything.
What am I doing wrong, and how should I correct it?
