Ubuntu Installation :: Can't Open Software Center
Apr 13, 2010
I can't open ubuntu software center.I tried the following commands:
sudo apt-get purge software-center
sudo apt-get install software-center
Both of the commands above did not produce any errors; however, I still get the same error when trying to start ubuntu software center.

When I try to open Ubuntu software center, it appears on the process bar for about 10 seconds before it disappears. I can't get it to start.
I have tried alt+f2 and typing 'software-center', didn't help. I tried reinstalling ubuntu software center in Synoptic package manager, but I got this error message: "E: /var/cache/apt/archives/software-center_3.0.7_all.deb: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1"
This started to happen after I reinstalled Ubuntu 10.10. After I did that, I got the 'modprobe: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.8.custem/modules.deb, no such
file or directory.' error. Could these two problems be related in any way?

I seem to have broken the Ubuntu Software Center by adding the Linux Mint repositories and installing the mint-menu package. When I click on Ubuntu Software Center it changes my cursor and shows it in the windows list for about 10 seconds like it is going to open but never does. I tried removing the mint-menu package and all of the mint packages, I reinstalled software-center andall of the ubuntu keyring packages. Still not able to open the software center.

I am not really new to ubuntu since I had it for time now I still don't know a lot about it since I was not really interested in exploring it and probably won't understand some of the terms used so go easy on me. Now, since I have upgraded to ubuntu 10.10 (maverick) (maybe even earlier since I haven't been using it much) I have not been able to open Software Center.
Trying to openit through terminal gave me the following result:
Code:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/software-center", line 90, in <module>
app = SoftwareCenterApp(datadir, xapian_base_path, options, args)
File "/usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/app.py", line 145, in __init__
self.history = get_apt_history() .....
raise ValueError, 'unknown locale: %s' % localename
ValueError: unknown locale: sr_RS

I am currently using Xubuntu version 11.04 and I am working with a Radeon HD 4850 graphics card. I am using the proprietary FGLRX drivers from AMD.
I have a small problem. I have two monitors, and in order to tell the computer to use the extra monitor for extra desk space, I have to get into the Administrative CCC. However, when I click on the administrative CCC, nothing happens. It's strange considering that the regular CCC works just fine.

Alright so when I go to the Ubuntu Software Installer and and I try to install software, it wont let me. I can look at the software and choose which to install. It will ask me for authentication and it accepts it but when downloading it, it never passes 0%. Does anybody have any ideas whats wrong? Thanks so much for any input.

I've just set myself up with lucid - to anyone involved in the development of it, congratulations; it was the easiest install I have ever done, and it looks and feels great.
However, I am having a small problem - when I've tried to install some new programs (specifically sunbird), it's told me that I need to update the software catalogue, and I can't find a function in the GUI to do so. I went into a terminal and used apt-get update in the hope that that would fix it as well as trying the update manager, and then went to the help file/google but didn't have any luck. I know I could install it through the command line, but I'd rather deal with this issue. Can somebody please point me in the right direction?

I've been thinking of turning my old computer into a media center for a while now (it was running Ubuntu Server 9.10). I recently bought a new 23inch screen so.. out with the server, in with the media center! (currently Xubuntu but running on LXDE as it's a lot lighter) My problem: The computer barely manages to play 720p videos on XBMC (on ..... or totem/vlc it's just impossible with breaks, lag and constant freezes).. I used the debug function of XBMC and guess what.. a 720p movie takes my cpu to a constant 100% usage!! =X
So here's my question.. what distro or 'buntu flavor would you advise me to use?? I thought about a minimal install but don't want to try it just yet..

How do I get rid of this? My software center is not working and it keeps asking for this CD ROM.
seckin@seckin-System:~$ sudo apt-get update
Ign cdrom://Ubuntu 10.10 _Maverick Meerkat_ - Release amd64 (20101007) maverick Release.gpg
Media change: please insert the disc labeled
'Ubuntu 10.10 _Maverick Meerkat_ - Release amd64 (20101007)'
in the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter

I Keep getting a dialogue window prompting me to repair it, it returns the error " E:I wasn't able to locate file for the ultimate-edition-nautilus-scripts package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package.: ", after looking around the forums & trying many of the techniques including creating an empty file & running aptitude -f install as well as a few more commands mentioned in various threads, all to no avail, I am stuck with the same message.
Is there any way to totally uninstall & reinstall apt getting rid of any changes that would be causing this or is there a simpler fix I have just overlooked ?.

After upgrading to 10.10, I have been unable to use the software center to install. Every time I click 'install', the install progress bar just hangs, reading 'Waiting for apt-get to exit'. The same thing happens when attempting to install upgrades via Update Manager.
I can however update via Synaptic and using 'apt-get upgrade' in the terminal.

Looking at the AMD/ATI download pages, I can't tell if catalyst control center (which installs the drivers) is fully functional for Ubuntu 10.10.
Has anyone had success with this software?
I have integrated ATI Radeon 3200 HD graphics on my motherboard and can't get things working.

I have a ViewSonic Windows Media PC. Would it be possible to get Ubuntu on it and get all of the information I need for the drivers that I'll have to somehow install to make it work on Ubuntu? I was going to work on an ancient POS but I can't get it to boot from USB and I have no CD-ROM for it.

My Ubuntu Software Center hangs on an installation of a downloaded .deb file from astah-community. It's a tool for UML software design. The installation was almost complete and then got stuck for some reason. I tried to click cancel but that didn't work. I closed USC and when I opened it again nothing had changed. I shut down the computer, restarted, opened USC and it was still there.
I am new to ubuntu, so how can I get the installation cancelled? I saw another post on a similar problem, where the problem was solved with:
sudo dpkg --purge --force-all astah-community
but I got:
dpkg: status database area is locked by another process

Import Error: No module named gtkwidgets I cannot find any reference to a gtkwidgets module, so I don't know what it is talking about. I don't really want to reinstall software-center or software-properties-gtk because ubuntu-desktop depends on them as well as some other things that make it too much to download right now. If it it really necessary and safe I can manage it in a few days. This is rather important because software-center does not open after this message.
