Ubuntu:Waiting for jockey-backend to exit


After installation of Ubuntu the most common problem is updating or downloading softwares. When we try to update any package or tried to install any software, Ubuntu gives message Waiting for jockey-backend to exit in Update manager. Jockey is tool for installation of third party hardware drivers and need to be disabled safely.

In order to resolve this problem we need to kill this jockey-backend process. Here is solution to do that.

1.Get Administrative access             sudo -i
 
2.Get process id of jockey-backend process    ps -e | grep jockey

3.Kill this process                            kill -9  process_id
