  • you can try to run software-center in the terminal, it might give some information why the app shuts down. If you cannot solve it yourselves paste the output in your post.

  • thats why I suggest to run it in a terminal sometimes that will give error messages that are not shown when you just start the app normally..

I had almost exacly the same issue. Debug output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5642460/

2013-05-07 22:00:43,106 - root - ERROR - Could not find any typelib for LaunchpadIntegration
2013-05-07 22:00:43,106 - softwarecenter.ui.gtk3.app - DEBUG - launchpad integration error: 'cannot import name LaunchpadIntegration' ..."
Reason : Open "https://raw.github.com/Nano77/various/master/deb/gdm3setup-20130207-1.deb".

Fix : I tried '.. remove --purge ..' update + upgrade, reinstall with no immediate effect. After system reboot the problem disappeared.

When I opened the .deb again - issue reproduced.

Good luck!

  • Update : the 'fix' did not work twice. When started e.g "software-center --debug gedit" app starts. On click on the 'All Software' icon it crashes.

  • it is a bug in software center, so just run sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade this should fix this. May 6, 2013 at 20:25
  • Even though I try to update it still shows an error vangjush@vangjush:~$ sudo apt-get update [sudo] password for vangjush: E: Malformed line 57 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse) E: The list of sources could not be read.
