Try these in order first, to make sure your "stuff" is all up to date and then to clean up and remove any unnecessary left over package dependencies not in use...

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get autoremove

Assuming that works, go for it again...

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get audacity

I noticed your last command "apt-get -f install" was missing the "sudo" in front. That's why that failed to get a lock and permission denied.
Just an fyi.. you could also use Synaptic "Package Manager" or "Software Manager" to search for and install things. I think "audacity" is listed in there. These GUI font-end tools are sometimes easier than apt-get from terminal until you get the hand of what it all means.

Thank you for the reply!! I'm trying this now..

E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

[dsotmb40]

Ok so I put sudo in front and I get this,,,,ugh

$ Sudo apt-get -f install
No command 'Sudo' found, did you mean:
Command 'sudo' from package 'sudo' (main)
Command 'sudo' from package 'sudo-ldap' (universe)
Command 'udo' from package 'udo' (universe)
Sudo: command not found

"Sudo" is not "sudo"

""( Yes software manager is what I have, I go to it it says not installed, I click on install, Mint asks for password to install or remove packages... then it just seems to stall and do nothing..

and installed compressed package that I expanded in downloads folder..try to install and this is where my post originated...
