trying to update from LuCI or from ssh/cli I get this error.
- opkg_conf_load: Could not lock /var/lock/opkg.lock: Resource temporarily unavailable.
The opkg update command failed with code 255 .
Any suggestions
Perhaps you're running multiple opkg instances and one of them hanged? Check ps or simply reboot the device.
thanks for responding. I have rebooted. tried from ssh. rebooted, tried from LuCI. no go here's ps. I don't see anything, but I'm new to this.

Does this file actually exist? If not, there might be something else going, e.g. damaged flash.
no, apparently it doesn't.

I really appreciate your help. what do I do from here.
That does seem odd. What version of OpenWrt are you using?
ubus call system board
{
"kernel": "6.6.73",
"hostname": "OpenWrt",
"system": "ARMv8 Processor rev 4",
"model": "Linksys MX4200v1",
"board_name": "linksys,mx4200v1",
"rootfs_type": "squashfs",
"release": {
"distribution": "OpenWrt",
"version": "24.10.0",
"revision": "r28427-6df0e3d02a",

"description": "OpenWrt 24.10.0 r28427-6df0e3d02a",
"builddate": "1738624177"
}
}
Have you ran upgrades on this 24.10.0 device before?
No, 24.10.0 was the first firmware i installed over OEM.

Please check that dns is working on your openwrt router, Network-Diagnosis.
