There is a task in "progress Tab" of the Ubuntu software center: "searching canceling". It is in an infinite loop and I can not remove it. Also, I can not install new software because it is waiting for the above task to end. ???

  • What is the task? and how do you know it's an infinite loop? Some packages can take quite a while to be installed.

Kill Software Center and open it again. The broken task should die with it, and you can go back to using it normally.
